JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 6th September Morning Slot - No. 10)

Charges Q1 and Q2 are at points A and B of a right angle triangle OAB (see figure). The resultant electric field at point O is perpendicular to the hypotenuse, then
$${{{Q_1}} \over {{Q_2}}}$$ is proportional to : JEE Main 2020 (Online) 6th September Morning Slot Physics - Electrostatics Question 146 English
$${{x_1^3} \over {x_2^3}}$$
$${{x_2^2} \over {x_1^2}}$$
$${{{x_1}} \over {{x_2}}}$$
$${{{x_2}} \over {{x_1}}}$$

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 6th September Morning Slot Physics - Electrostatics Question 146 English Explanation

Net field along AB at O must be zero.

E1sin$$\theta $$ = E2cos $$\theta $$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{k{Q_1}} \over {x_1^2}}.{{{x_1}} \over {AB}}$$ = $${{k{Q_2}} \over {x_2^2}}.{{{x_2}} \over {AB}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{{Q_1}} \over {{Q_2}}} = {{{x_1}} \over {{x_2}}}$$
