Answer the following.

Two point charges Q₁ and Q₂, separated by a distance, are such that there is no neutral point…

Two point charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$, separated by a distance, are such that there is no neutral point (where electric field is zero) in their vicinity. What is the relation between $Q_1$ and $Q_2$?

Answer

Answer

Official answer key
$Q_2 = -Q_1$, i.e. the two charges are equal and opposite and form an electric dipole.
