The force between two small charged spheres having charges of \( 2 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{C} \) and \( 3 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{C} \), respectively, placed 30 cm apart in air would be.

  1. A \( 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{N} \)
  2. B \( 6 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{N} \)
  3. C \( 6 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{N} \)
  4. D \( 5 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{N} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 6 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{N} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2} \) \( F = (9 \times 10^9) \frac{(2 \times 10^{-7})(3 \times 10^{-7})}{(0.30)^2} \) \( F = (9 \times 10^9) \frac{6 \times 10^{-14}}{0.09} \) \( F = 6 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{N} \)
