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

Two identical conducting spheres with negligible volume have \(2.1\, nC\) and \(-0.1\, nC\) charges, respectively. They are brought into contact and then separated by a distance of \(0.5 \,m\). The electrostatic force acting between the spheres is \(.......... \, \times 10^{-9} \,N\) [Given : \(4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}=\frac{1}{9 \times 10^{9}} SI\) unit]

  1. A \(72\)
  2. B \(90\)
  3. C \(36\)
  4. D \(135\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(36\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(q =\frac{(2.1-0.1)}{2}\, nC =1\, nC\) \(f =\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 10^{-18}}{(0.5)^{2}}=36 \times 10^{-9}\)
