Two charges $q$ and $3 q$ are separated by a distance ‘ $r$ ’ in air. At a distance $x$ from charge $q$ , the resultant electric field is zero. The value of $x$ is :

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Given: ${({\vec{E}}_{n e t})}_{P} = 0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{k q}{x^{2}} = \frac{k \times 3 q}{{(r - x)}^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow {(r - x)}^{2} = 3 x^{2}$

$\Rightarrow r - x = \sqrt{3} x$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{r}{\sqrt{3} + 1}$
