Two point charges $+10 q$ and $-4 q$ are located at $x=0$ and $x=L$ respectively. What is the location of a point on the $x$-axis from the origin, where the net electric field due to these two point charges is zero? $(r = \text{required distance})$

  • A
    $r = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}} L$ to point $B$
  • B
    $r = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}-\sqrt{2}} L$ left to point $A$
  • C
    $r = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}} L$ to point $B$
  • D
    $r = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{2}} L$ left to point $A$

Two large circular discs separated by a distance of $0.01 \ m$ are connected to a battery via a switch as shown in the figure. Charged oil drops of density $900 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ are released through a tiny hole at the center of the top disc. Once some oil drops achieve terminal velocity,the switch is closed to apply a voltage of $200 \ V$ across the discs. As a result,an oil drop of radius $8 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ stops moving vertically and floats between the discs. The number of electrons present in this oil drop is (neglect the buoyancy force,take acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$ and charge on an electron $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$):
