Question:medium
In the figure, OA and OB show the variation of electric potential \(V\) at a point due to two point charges \(Q_1\) and \(Q_2\) with \(\frac{1}{r}\) respectively. Here \(r\) represents the distance of the point from the two point charges.
(II) What is the value of \(\left(\frac{Q_1}{Q_2}\right)\)? Justify your answer.

Show Hint
In graphs of \(V\) vs \(\frac{1}{r}\):
- A positive slope represents a positive point charge.
- A negative slope represents a negative point charge.
- The steepness (absolute value of the slope) is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge.

- A unit positive point charge is slowly moved through an infinitely thin tube inside a uniformly charged dielectric sphere of radius \(R\) and volume charge density \(\rho\). The initial and final positions of the charge are \(B\) and \(A\), located at distances \(3R\) and \(2R\) respectively from the centre. If the magnitude of work done on the charge is \[ \frac{\rho R^2}{n\varepsilon_0} \] then find \(n\).
