Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{3 \sqrt{3} Q}{8 \pi^{2} \varepsilon_{0} R^{2}}(\hat{i})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\varepsilon=\frac{2 {k} \lambda}{{R}} \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)(-\hat{{i}})\)

\(\lambda=\left(\frac{-{Q}}{{R} \theta}\right)=\left(\frac{-{Q}}{{R} \cdot \frac{2 \pi}{3}}\right)\)

\(\lambda=\frac{-3 Q}{2 \pi R}\)

\(\varepsilon=\frac{2 k}{R} \cdot \frac{-3 Q}{2 \pi R} \cdot \sin \left(60^{\circ}\right)(-\hat{i})\)

\(\varepsilon=\frac{3 \sqrt{3} Q}{8 \pi^{2} \in_{0} R^{2}}(+\hat{i})\)
