1. Electric Charges and Fields
normal
A charge $q$ is placed at the centre of the line joining two equal charges $Q$. The system of the three charges will be in equilibrium, if $q$ is equal to
A
$-\frac{Q}{2}$
B
$-\frac{Q}{4}$
C
$+\frac{Q}{4}$
D
$+\frac{Q}{2}$
Solution

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{\mathrm{Q}^{2}}{4 \mathrm{x}^{2}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}} \frac{\mathrm{qQ}}{\mathrm{x}^{2}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{q}=\frac{-\mathrm{Q}}{4}$
