1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy
Assertion : Consider two identical charges placed distance $2d$ apart, along $x-$ axis. The equilibrium of a positive test charge placed at the point $O$ midway between them is stable for displacements along the $x-$ axis.
Reason: Force on test charge is zero

A
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
C
If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(AIIMS-2013)
Solution
If $+ve$ charge is displaced along $x-$ axis, then net force will always act in a direction opposite to that of displacement and the test charge will always come back to its original position.
