The electrostatic force on a small sphere of charge 0.4 µC due to another small sphere of charge –0.8 µC in the air is 0.2 N. The distance between the two spheres is:
1. 14 cm
2. 12 cm
3. 16 cm
4. 10 cm
Dimensional formula of is:
1. [M1L1T1]
2. [M0L1T1]
3. [M0L0T0]
4. [M-1L0T2]
Two insulated charged copper spheres \(A\) and \(B\) have their centers separated by a distance of \(50 ~\text{cm}.\) What is the mutual force of electrostatic repulsion if the charge on each is \(6 . 5 × 10 ^{- 7}~\text C ?\)
(the radii of \(A\) and \(B\) are negligible compared to the distance of separation.)
1. \(1.52 × 10^{−2}~\text N\)
2. \(3.7 × 10^{−2}~\text N\)
3. \(2.01 × 10^{−2}~\text N\)
4. \(2.23 × 10^{−1}~\text N\)
