Electric Potential & Equipotentials

Charges of $2\,\mu\text{C}$ and $-3\,\mu\text{C}$ are placed at two points A and B separated by 1 m. The distance of the point from A, where net potential is zero, is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Between A and B at distance $x$ from A: $\frac{2}{x} = \frac{3}{1-x}$
$2 - 2x = 3x \Rightarrow x = 0.4\text{ m}$
So the answer is (c) 0.4 m.
