JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields

Three point charges of magnitude \(5 \mu C , 0.16 \mu C\) and \(0.3 \mu C\) are located at the vertices \(A , B , C\) of a right angled triangle whose sides are \(AB =3\,cm\), \(BC =3 \sqrt{2}\,cm\) and \(CA =3\,cm\) and point \(A\) is the right angle corner. Charge at point \(A\) experiences \(N\) of electrostatic force due to the other two charges.

  1. A \(177\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(17\)
  4. D \(29\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(17\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F _{1}=\frac{ k \times 5 \times 0.3 \times 10^{-12}}{9 \times 10^{-4}}\) \(=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 5 \times 0.3 \times 10^{-12}}{9 \times 10^{-4}}\) \(=1.5 \times 10=15\,N\) \(F _{2}=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 5 \times 0.16 \times 10^{-12}}{9 \times 10^{-4}}=8\,N\)…
