Two spheres A and B of radii 17 cm each and having charges of 1 and 2 coulomb respectively are separated by a distance of 80 cm. The electric field at a point on the Iine joining the centres of two spheres is approximately zero at some distance from the sphere A. The electric potential at this point is

Here, E1=E214πε0×1x2=14πε0×2(0⋅8−x)2or 1x2=2(0⋅8−x)2Solving, we getx≈0.33m=33cmNow the potential at this point isVp=14πε0×q1x+14πε0×q2(0⋅8−x)=14πε0q1x+q2(0⋅8−x)=9×10910⋅33+20⋅47=6⋅56×1010V.
