Question

Two particles A and B having equal charges are placed at a distance d apart. A third charged particle placed on the perpendicular bisection of AB at distance x. The third particle experiences maximum force when ______.

Options

• x = `"d"/sqrt2`

• x = `"d"/2`

• x = `"d"/(2sqrt2)`

• x = `"d"/(3sqrt2)`

Answer 1

Two particles A and B having equal charges are placed at a distance d apart. A third charged particle placed on the perpendicular bisection of AB at distance x. The third particle experiences maximum force when x = `underlinebb("d"/(2sqrt2))`.
