Question:

Options:

a

b

c

d

Correct Answer:

d

Explanation:

Let electric field is zero at a distane x from q2 charge away from q1.

$\frac{K.q_2q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 x^2} = \frac{K q_1q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 (x+d)^2}$

$\Rightarrow (x+d)^2 = 2 x^2$

$\Rightarrow (x+d) = \pm \sqrt2 x$

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{d}{\sqrt2 -1} $
