a) Two point charges Q1 = 400 μC and Q2 = 100 straight mu space straight C are kept fixed, 60 cm apart in vacuum.Find intensity of the electric field at midpoint of the line joining Q1 and Q2.
b) i) State Gauss' law.

ii) In an electric dipole, at which point is the electrical potential zero?


a) Given:
Q1 = 400 μC = 400 x 10-6 C
Q2 = 100 μC = 100 x 10-6 C
  x = 60 cm = 60 x 10-2 m

Electric field intensity at mid-point P by charge Q1 is given by,
E1 = fraction numerator 1 over denominator 4 πε subscript straight o end fraction. space Q subscript 1 over r squared

Electric field intensity at mid point P by charge Q2 is given by,

E2 = fraction numerator 1 over denominator 4 πε subscript straight o end fraction Q subscript 2 over r squared
   equals space 9 space straight x space 10 to the power of 9 space straight x space fraction numerator 100 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent over denominator left parenthesis 30 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 2 end exponent right parenthesis squared end fraction
equals fraction numerator 9 space straight x space 10 to the power of 9 space straight x space 100 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent over denominator 9 space straight x space 10 squared space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 4 end exponent end fraction
equals space 100 space straight x space 10 to the power of 5 space straight N divided by straight C

Total electric field intensity at mid point P is given by,

E = E1 - E2

   = 400 x 105  - 100 x 105

   = 300 x 105 N/C

Direction of electric field intensity at mid point P is from Q1 to Q2.

b) i) Gauss Theorem states that the electric flux straight ϕ subscript straight E through any closed surface is equal to 1 over straight epsilon subscript straight o times the net charge q enclosed by the surface.
Mathematically,
straight phi subscript straight E space equals space straight q over straight epsilon subscript straight o
