Electric field
Question

Three charged particles A,B and C with charges – 4q, 2q and -2q are present on the circumference of a circle of radius d. The charged particles A,C and centre O of the circle formed an equilateral triangle as shown in figure, Electric field at O along x-direction is:

Moderate
Solution

 

Electric field due to B and C is along OC   andElectric field due to A is along OAAs per figure, the net horizontal component of electric field isEnet=4kqd2×2cos300=q3πε0d2
