Two equal and similar charges 3 cm apart in air repel each other with a force of 1.6 N. What will be the magnitude of each charge?

  1. A \( 12 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C} \)
  2. B \( 3 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C} \)
  3. C \( 4 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C} \)
  4. D \( 1.33 \times 10^{-8} \text{ C} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 4 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F = k \frac{q^2}{r^2}\) \(q = \sqrt{\frac{F r^2}{k}}\) \(q = \sqrt{\frac{1.6 \text{ N} \times (0.03 \text{ m})^2}{9 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2/\text{C}^2}}\) \(q = 4 \times 10^{-7} \text{ C}\)
