Two point charges $q_1=2 \mu C$ and $q_2=-2 \mu C$ are placed 20 cm apart from each other. Point 'a' is 5 cm away from q, on the line joining $q_1$ and $q_2$ on the side opposite to $q_2$. Point 'b' is 5 cm away from $q_2$, on the line joining $q_1$ and $q_2$, opposite to $q_1$. Point 'c' is at a perpendicular distance of 10 cm from the centre point D of the line joining $q_1$ and $q_2$. Identify the correct statement depicting the situation.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Point C and D are equipotential
Point C and D are equidistant from $q_1$ and $q_2$. So net potential on C and D is zero.
Hence option (1) is correct.
*Option (4) is not clear (There must be an error in option 4).
