A few electric field lines a system of two charges Q-1- and Q-2- fixed two different points on the x-axis are shown in the figure- These lines suggest that -Q-1-Q-2-at a finite distance to the right of Q-2- the electric field is zeroat a finite distance to the left of Q-1- the electric field is zero -Q-1-Q-2-

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Number of Electric field lines emerging from $Q_{1}$ are more than the number of lines terminating at $Q_{2}$ .
So , $Q_{1}$ is a positive charge of higher magnitude and $Q_{2}$ is a negative charge of smaller magnitude .
Hence , the point at which the electric field is zero is on the right of the negative charge $Q_{2}$

Number of Electric field lines emerging from Q1 are more than the number of lines terminating at Q2.So , Q1 is a positive charge of higher magnitude and Q2 is a negative charge of smaller magnitude .Hence , the point at which the electric field is zero is on the right of the negative charge Q2
