12th Class Physics Electric Charges and Fields Question Bank MCQ - Electric Charges and Fields

  • question_answer
    The nucleus of helium atom contains two protons that are separated by a distance \[3.0\text{ }\times \text{ }10-15m\]. The magnitude of the electrostatic force that each proton exerts on the other is:

    A) 20.6N              

    B) 25.6N  

    C) 15.6N                           

    D) 12.6N

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b) 25.6 N Charge of proton is, \[{{q}_{p}}=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\,C\] Distance between the protons is, \[r=3\times {{10}^{-15}}m\] The magnitude of electrostatic force between protons is \[{{F}_{e}}=\frac{{{q}_{p}}{{q}_{p}}}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{r}^{2}}}\] \[=\frac{9\times {{10}^{19}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}}{{{\left( 3\times {{10}^{-15}} \right)}^{2}}}\] =25.6N
