JEE Main 2019 — Electrostatics Question with Solution
From: JEE Main 2019 (Online) 10th January Evening Slot
Question
Charges –q and +q located at A and B, respectively, constitude an electric dipole. Distance AB = 2a, O is the mid point of the dipole and OP is perpendicular to AB. A charge Q is placed at P where OP = y and y >> 2a. The charge Q experiences an electrostatic force F. If Q is now moved along the equatorial line to P' such that OP' = , the force on Q will be close to -
