Two point charges $-10 \mu C$ and $+5 \mu C$ are situated on the $X$-axis at $x=0$ and $x=\sqrt{2} \ m$. The point along the $X$-axis where the electric field becomes zero is:

  • A
    $x=(\sqrt{2}-1) \ m$
  • B
    $x=2(\sqrt{2}-1) \ m$
  • C
    $x=2(\sqrt{2}+1) \ m$
  • D
    $x=(\sqrt{2}+1) \ m$

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 $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$):
