Question
Two point charges Q and - Q/4 are separated by a distance x. Then :


Options
A. potential is zero at a point on the axis which is at a distance x/3 on the right side of the charge -Q/4
B.potential is zero at a point on the axis which is at a distance x/5 on the left side of the charge -Q/4
C.electric field is zero at a point on the axis which is at a distance x on the right side of the charge -Q/4
D.there exist two points on the axis where electric field is zero
Solution
No point exist in between the charges where field is zero.

E =
= 0 ⇒ r = x

E =
