Question

10. Two point particles,with charges of q1 and q2, are placeda distance r apart. The electric field is zero at a point P between the particles on the line segmentconnecting them. We conclude that: A) q1 and q2 must have the same magnitude and sign B) P must be midway between the particles C) q1 and q2 must have the same sign but may have differentmagnitudes D) q1 and q2 must have equal magnitudes and oppositesigns E) q1 and q2 must have opposite signs and may have differentmagnitudes 10.

Explanation / Answer

Here q1 and q2 are the two pointparticles, and they are separated by a distance 'r'. THe electric field at a point in between them is zero meansthe two electric charges must have the same sign but need nothaving the same magnitude.
