Consider the following statements about electric field intensity and electric potential.
$A$. The electric field intensity due to a charged spherical shell is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the center for points outside the shell.
$B$. The electric potential due to a point charge is inversely proportional to the distance between the charge and the point.

View SolutionTwo point charges $+8 q$ and $-2 q$ are located at $X=0$ (origin) and $X=L$ respectively. The net electric field due to these two charges is zero at point $P$ on the $X$-axis. The location of point $P$ from the origin is:
An infinite number of electric charges,each with a magnitude of $5 \, nC$,are placed along the $X$-axis at $x = 1 \, cm$,$x = 2 \, cm$,$x = 4 \, cm$,$x = 8 \, cm$,and so on. If the consecutive charges have opposite signs,find the electric field in $N/C$ at $x = 0$. (Given: $\frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \, N \cdot m^2/C^2$)
