1. Electric Charges and Fields
hard
Two charges $q$ and $3 q$ are separated by a distance ' $r$ ' in air. At a distance $x$ from charge $q$, the resultant electric field is zero. The value of $x$ is :
A
$\frac{(1+\sqrt{3})}{r}$
B
$\frac{\mathrm{r}}{3(1+\sqrt{3})}$
C
$\frac{r}{(1+\sqrt{3})}$
D
$r(1+\sqrt{3})$
(JEE MAIN-2024)
Solution

$\left(\vec{E}_{\text {net }}\right)_p=0$
$\frac{\mathrm{kq}}{\mathrm{x}^2}=\frac{\mathrm{k} \cdot 3 \mathrm{q}}{(\mathrm{r}-\mathrm{x})^2}$
$(\mathrm{r}-\mathrm{x})^2=3 \mathrm{x}^2$
$\mathrm{r}-\mathrm{x}=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{x}$
$\mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{r}}{\sqrt{3}+1}$
