Which of the following statements are correct? (A) the mid-point between the two similar and equal point charges located nearby, is called neutral point. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A) and (D) only (A), (B) and (C) only (B) and (C) only (C) and (D) only |
(A) and (D) only |
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) and (D) only (A) Correct — the midpoint between two equal and like charges is often referred to as a neutral point in the sense of equipotential (though the field is not zero, the potential can be defined consistently). (B) Incorrect — at the neutral point the field is zero, so field lines do not converge there. (C) Incorrect — electric potential is the work done per unit charge in bringing a test charge from infinity, not simply the work done itself. (D) Correct — on an equipotential surface the potential difference is zero, hence no work is required to move a charge. Answer: (A) and (D) |
