Two point charges A and B of magnitude + 8 * 10-6 and -8 * 10-6C respectively are placed at a distance d apart. The electric field at the middle point O between the charges is 6.4 * 104 NC-1. The distance 'd' between the point charges A and B is:

Option 1 - <p>2.0 m</p>
Option 2 - <p>3.0 m</p>
Option 3 - <p>1.0 m</p>
Option 4 - <p>4.0 m</p>

Correct Option - 2
Detailed Solution:

E1 (done to q1) = k, q1 (d/2)2= [9*109*8*106]d2*4

E2 (done to q2) = kq2 (d/2)2= [9*109*8*106]d2*4

Enet = E1 + E2

=2 [4*9*109*8*106d2]

Given Enet = 6.4 * 104

2* [4*9*109*8*106d2]=6.4*104

d2 = 9 * 10-6 + 6

d = 3m
