The correct Answer is:
To find the intensity of the electric field at a point midway between two charges of 50 µC and 100 µC separated by a distance of 0.6 m, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Charges and Distance We have two charges: - \( Q_1 = 50 \, \mu C = 50 \times 10^{-6} \, C \) - \( Q_2 = 100 \, \mu C = 100 \times 10^{-6} \, C \) The distance between the charges is \( d = 0.6 \, m \). The point of interest is midway between the two charges, which is at a distance of \( r = \frac{d}{2} = 0.3 \, m \) from each charge. ### Step 2: Calculate the Electric Field due to Each Charge The electric field \( E \) due to a point charge is given by the formula: \[ E = \frac{k \cdot |Q|}{r^2} \] where \( k = 9 \times 10^9 \, N \cdot m^2/C^2 \) is Coulomb's constant. #### Electric Field due to \( Q_2 \) (100 µC): \[ E_2 = \frac{k \cdot |Q_2|}{r^2} = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \cdot 100 \times 10^{-6}}{(0.3)^2} \] Calculating \( (0.3)^2 = 0.09 \): \[ E_2 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \cdot 100 \times 10^{-6}}{0.09} = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \cdot 10^{-4}}{0.09} \] \[ E_2 = 10^7 \, V/m \] #### Electric Field due to \( Q_1 \) (50 µC): \[ E_1 = \frac{k \cdot |Q_1|}{r^2} = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \cdot 50 \times 10^{-6}}{(0.3)^2} \] Using the same \( (0.3)^2 = 0.09 \): \[ E_1 = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \cdot 50 \times 10^{-6}}{0.09} = \frac{9 \times 10^9 \cdot 5 \times 10^{-5}}{0.09} \] \[ E_1 = 5 \times 10^6 \, V/m \] ### Step 3: Determine the Direction of the Electric Fields - The electric field \( E_2 \) due to \( Q_2 \) (100 µC) will point away from \( Q_2 \) towards the midpoint. - The electric field \( E_1 \) due to \( Q_1 \) (50 µC) will point towards \( Q_1 \). ### Step 4: Calculate the Net Electric Field Since \( E_2 \) is greater than \( E_1 \) and they are in opposite directions, the net electric field \( E_{net} \) at the midpoint is: \[ E_{net} = E_2 - E_1 \] Substituting the values: \[ E_{net} = 10^7 \, V/m - 5 \times 10^6 \, V/m = 5 \times 10^6 \, V/m \] ### Final Answer The intensity of the electric field at the point midway between the charges is: \[ \boxed{5 \times 10^6 \, V/m} \]
