प्रश्न
Answer the following question.
Two identical point charges, q each, are kept 2m apart in the air. A third point charge Q of unknown magnitude and sign is placed on the line joining the charges such that the system remains in equilibrium. Find the position and nature of Q.
उत्तर
`(K(q)(Q))/x = (-K(q)(q))/2`
⇒ `Q = (-qx)/2`
`because (KqQ)/x = (KQq)/y`
x = y
x + y = 2
∴ x = y = 1
`Q = (-q)/2`

The top of the atmosphere is at about 400 kV with respect to the surface of the earth, corresponding to an electric field that decreases with altitude. Near the surface of the earth, the field is about 100 Vm−1. Why then do we not get an electric shock as we step out of our house into the open? (Assume the house to be a steel cage so there is no field inside!)
