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
    $x=(\sqrt{2}+1) \ m$

The point charges $+q, -q, -q, +q, +Q$ and $-q$ are placed at the vertices of a regular hexagon $ABCDEF$ as shown in the figure. The electric field at the centre of the hexagon '$O$' due to the five charges at $A, B, C, D$ and $F$ is twice the electric field at centre '$O$' due to charge $+Q$ at $E$ alone. The value of $Q$ is

$A$ semicircular ring of radius $0.5 \ m$ is uniformly charged with a total charge of $1.4 \times 10^{-9} \ C$. The electric field intensity at the center of the ring is ........ $V/m$.

An infinite number of electric charges, each equal to $5 \text{ nC}$ (magnitude), are placed along the $X$-axis at $x = 1 \text{ cm}, x = 2 \text{ cm}, x = 4 \text{ cm}, x = 8 \text{ cm}, \dots$ and so on. In this setup, if the consecutive charges have opposite signs, then the electric field in $\text{N/C}$ at $x = 0$ is: $\left(\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \text{ N} \cdot \text{m}^2/\text{C}^2\right)$
