1. Electric Charges and Fields
medium
A point charge $q_1=4 q_0$ is placed at origin. Another point charge $q_2=-q_0$ is placed at $x =12\,cm$. Charge of proton is $q_0$. The proton is placed on $x$-axis so that the electrostatic force on the proton in zero. In this situation, the position of the proton from the origin is $..........cm$.
A
$24$
B
$23$
C
$22$
D
$20$
(JEE MAIN-2023)
Solution

$\frac{q_0}{x^2}=\frac{4 q_0}{(x+12)^2}$
$x+12=2 x$
$x=12$
Distance from origin $= x +12=24\,cm$.
