Two charges q1 and q2 are a distance d apart. If the electric field is zero at a distance of d/4 towards q2, then what is the relation between q1 and q2? A) q1 = 2q2 B) q1 = 2q2 + 1 C) q1 = 3q2 - 1 D) q1 = 6q2 - 10 E) None of the above

Step 1
The electric field is zero at a distance of d/4 towards q2. This means that the electric field due to q1 at that point is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the electric field due to q2 at that point. Show more…

What can you say about two charges q1 and q2 if the electric field one-fifth of the way from q1 to q2 is zero? Consider both sign and relative magnitude. What is the force between these two charges (in terms of q1 and the separation distance d)? What is the potential energy between the two charges (also in terms of q1 and d)?

Two particles with positive charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance s. Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges zero? Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables s, q1, q2, and k = 1/4πε0.

Two point charges q1 and q2 are situated at a distance d. There is no such point in between them where the electric field is zero. What can we deduce? a) There is no such point b) The charges are of the same polarity c) The charges are of opposite polarity d) The charges must be unequal
