Question 37 IGCSE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2021 • PHYSICS • objective

A point charge \(+Q\) is fixed at the origin and a point charge \(-Q\) is fixed at \((0,\,0.10\ \text{m})\). A uniform electric field of magnitude \(2.0\times10^{4}\ \text{N\,C}^{-1}\) directed to the right (positive \(x\)‑direction) fills the region. Take \(Q = 5.0\ \mu\text{C}\). (a) Find the position on the line joining the two charges where the net electric field is zero. Give the coordinate measured from the \(+Q\) charge (negative values indicate a point to the left of the \(+Q\) charge). (b) Calculate the electric potential at that point due to the two point charges only.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. x = -0.719 m (to the left of +Q); V = 7.64 kV
B. x = -0.55 m (to the left of +Q); V = 6.2 kV
C. x = 0.12 m (to the right of +Q); V = 5.0 kV
D. x = -0.85 m (to the left of +Q); V = 8.1 kV
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
x = -0.719 m (to the left of +Q); V = 7.64 kV
