JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 1. Electric charges and fields
Two identical metallic spheres \(A\) and \(B\) when placed at certain distance in air repel each other with a force of \(F\). Another identical uncharged sphere \(C\) is first placed in contact with \(A\) and then in contact with \(B\) and finally placed at midpoint between spheres \(A\) and \(B\). The force experienced by sphere \(C\) will be.
- A \(3\,F / 2\)
- B \(3\,F / 4\)
- C \(F\)
- D \(2\,F\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(3\,F / 4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(q _{ A }= q _{ B }= q\) When \(C\) is placed in contact with \(A\), charge on \(A\) and \( C\) will be \(=\frac{ q }{2}\) Now \(C\) is placed in contact with \(B\), charge on \(B\) and \(C\) will be \(=\frac{q+\frac{q}{2}}{2}=\frac{3 q}{4}\)…
