Two point charge Q and 4Q are fixed at a distance of 12cm from each other. Sketch lines of force and locate the neutral point, if any .

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Charges and Distance**: We have two point charges, \( Q \) and \( 4Q \), fixed at a distance of 12 cm from each other. 2. **Understanding Electric Field Direction**: Since both charges are positive, the electric field lines will originate from both charges and point away from them. The electric field due to charge \( Q \) will point away from \( Q \), and the electric field due to charge \( 4Q \) will point away from \( 4Q \). ...
