Neco 2024 Physics Objective / Multiple Choice Hard Difficulty
Question 39 NECO • 2024 • PHYSICS • objective

Two point charges are placed on a straight line 20\ \text{cm} apart. Charge \(q_{1}=+8\ \mu\text{C}\) is at the left end and charge \(q_{2}=-2\ \mu\text{C}\) is at the right end. (a) Find the position on the line between the charges where the net electric field is zero, giving the distance from \(q_{1}\) in centimeters (to three significant figures). (b) Compute the electric potential at that point relative to infinity, giving the result in volts (to two significant figures). Use \(k=8.99\times10^{9}\ \text{N m}^{2}\text{C}^{-2}\).
