    Two point charges + 3 \[\mu C\] and + 8\[\mu C\] repel each other with a force of 40 N. If a charge of - 5 \[\mu C\] is added to each of them, then the force between them will become:

    A)  +10 N                                  

    B)  +20 N                  

    C)  -20 N                   

    D)         -10 N

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Two charges \[+\,3\mu C\] and \[8\mu C\] are given which repel each other when a charge \[-5\mu C\] is added then in second case changes becomes \[-2\mu C\] and \[3\mu C\]. From the relation \[F\propto {{q}_{1}}{{q}_{2}}\] Hence   \[\frac{{{F}_{1}}}{{{F}_{1}}}=\frac{{{q}_{1}}\times {{q}_{2}}}{{{q}_{1}}{{q}_{2}}}\] or            \[\frac{40}{{{F}_{1}}}=\frac{3\times 8}{-2\times 3}=-\,4\] so,          \[{{F}_{1}}=-\frac{40}{4}=10\,\,\text{attractive}\]
