    A charge q is divided in two parts Q and\[(q-Q)\] If the magnitude of the force of repulsion between these two charges placed at certain separation is to be maximum the ratio \[q:(q-Q)\] is

    A)  \[4:1\]             

    B)  \[2:1\]

    C)  \[1:1\]             

    D)  \[1:2\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : Force between the two charges \[=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}\frac{Q(q-Q)}{{{r}^{2}}}\] \[\therefore \] \[F=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{r}^{2}}}(Qq-{{Q}^{2}})\] For force to be maximum\[\frac{dF}{dQ}=0\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{dF}{dQ}=\frac{1}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{r}^{2}}}.[q-2Q]\] or\[0=q-2Q\]    or     \[2Q=q\] or \[Q=q/2\] \[\therefore \]\[\frac{q}{q-Q}=\frac{q}{q-\frac{q}{2}}=\frac{q}{q/2}=\frac{2}{1}\]
