Suppose there are only two charged particles in a particular region. Particle 1 carries a charge of +q and is located on the positive x-axis a distance d from the origin. Particle 2 carries a charge of +2q and is located on the negative x-axis a distance d from the origin. Required:
Where is it possible to have the net field caused by these two charges equal to zero?

1. At the origin.
2. Somewhere on the x-axis between the two charges, but not at the origin.
3. Somewhere on the x-axis to the right of q2.
4. Somewhere on the y-axis.
5. Somewhere on the x-axis to the left of q1.

x₂ = 0.1715 d

1) false

2) True

3) True

4) false

5) True

Explanation:

The field electrifies a vector quantity, so we can add the creative field by these two charges

             E₂-E₁ = 0

             k q₂ / r₂² - k q₁ / r1₁²= 0

             q₂ / r₂² = q₁ / r₁²

suppose the sum of the fields is zero at a place x to the right of zero

          r₂ = d + x

          r₁ = d -x

we substitute

           q₂ / (d + x)² = q₁ / (d-x)²

we solve the equation

           q₂ / q₁ (d-x)² = (d + x) ²

let's replace the value of the charges

       q₂ / q₁ = + 2q / + q = 2

          2 (d²- 2xd + x²) = d² + 2xd + x²

          x² -6xd + d² = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

          x = [6d ± √ (36d² - 4 d²)] / 2

          x = [6d ± 5,657 d] / 2

          x₁ = 5.8285 d

          x₂ = 0.1715 d

      with the total field value zero it is between the two loads the correct solution is x₂ = 0.1715 d

this value remains on the positive part of the x axis, that is, near charge 1

now let's examine the different proposed outcomes

1) false

2) True

3) True

4) false

5) True

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
