Neutral zone in the electric field of two similar charges is a region where
Correct answer: D. no electric field line passes
- A. both positive and negative charges are present
- B. equal quantities of both positive and negative charges are present
- C. an electric dipole exists
- D. no electric field line passes
Explanation
The neutral zone is the region where the electric field lines of two similar charges cancel each other out, resulting in no net electric field.Incorrect options: (a) and (b) There are no negative charges involved in the electric field between similar charges. (c) An electric dipole consists of equal and opposite charges separated by a distance, not in a neutral zone.

About Electrostatics
Electrostatics describes forces between charges through Coulomb's law, electric fields and field intensity, then uses electric potential to measure energy per unit charge. Capacitors store charge and electrical energy, with capacitance depending on geometry and dielectric material, not simply on the amount of charge present.
