Electric Potential & Equipotentials

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Between the charges at distance $x$ from A: $\frac{k(2)}{x} + \frac{k(-3)}{1-x} = 0$
$2(1-x) = 3x \Rightarrow 5x = 2 \Rightarrow x = 0.4\text{ m}$
So the answer is (c) 0.4 m.
