Two point charges \( 2 \, \mu\text{C} \) and \( 3 \, \mu\text{C} \) are placed at a distance of 5 cm from each other. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is:

  1. A 21.6 N
  2. B 30.2 N
  3. C 43.2 N
  4. D 53.8 N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 21.6 N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( F = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} \) \( F = (9 \times 10^9 \, \text{N}\cdot\text{m}^2/\text{C}^2) \frac{|(2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C})(3 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{C})|}{(0.05 \, \text{m})^2} \) \( F = 21.6 \, \text{N} \)
