Two point charges \(+8 \mu \mathrm{C}\) and \(+12 \mu \mathrm{C}\) repel each other with a force of \(48 \mathrm{~N}\). When an additional charge of \(-10 \mu \mathrm{C}\) is given to each of these charges (the distance between the charges is unaltered) then the new force is

  1. A repulsive force of \(24 \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B attractive force of \(24 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C repulsive force of \(12 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D attractiive force of \(2 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) attractiive force of \(2 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When an amount of charge \(=10 \mu \mathrm{C}\) is added to both of the charges then, these becomes…
