Two particles with charges \(+3.72 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and \(+1.86 \mu \mathrm{C}\) are some distance apart. If \(20 \%\) of the charge is transferred from first particle to second particle then the electrostatic force between them is

  1. A decreases by \(12 \%\)
  2. B increases by \(12 \%\)
  3. C increase by \(4 \%\)
  4. D decreases by \(4 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) increases by \(12 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, charge on the first particle, \(Q_1=+3.72 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and charge on second particle, \(Q_2=1.86 \mu \mathrm{C}\) Then the electrostatic force between charges,…
