A few electric field lines for a system of two charges and fixed at two different points on the -axis are shown in the figure. These lines suggest that

Options
- A
- B
- Cat a finite distance to the left of the electric field is zero
- Dat a finite distance to the right of the electric field is zero
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
From the behaviour of electric lines, we can say that is positive and is negative. Further, \left|Q_1\right|>\left|Q_2\right|
At some finite distance, electric field will be zero. Because electric field due to is towards right (away from ) and due to is towards \left(towards ). But since magnitude of is more, the two fields may cancel each other because distance of that point from will also be more.
The correct options are (a) and (d).
