JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Charge and Coulombs Law

  • question_answer
    \[+2C\] and \[+6C\] two charges are repelling each other with a force of \[12\,N\].  If each charge is given \[-2C\] of charge, then the value of the force will be                                                                  [CPMT 1979; Kerala PMT 2002]           

    A)                    \[4N\] (Attractive)     

    B)                    \[4N\] (Repulsive)           

    C)                    \[8N\] (Repulsive)     

    D)                                              Zero

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               Resultant charges after adding the ? 2C be \[(-\,2+2)=0\]  and \[(-\,2+6)=+\,4C\] Þ  F\[=\frac{k\,{{Q}_{1}}{{Q}_{2}}}{{{r}^{2}}}=k\times \frac{0\times 4}{{{r}^{2}}}=0\]
