Question:

What is the force between two small charged spheres having charges of $4 \times 10^{-7} C$ and $6 \times 10^{-7} C$ placed 60 cm apart in air?

Options:

$3 \times 10^{-3} N$

$4 \times 10^{-3} N$

$6 \times 10^{-3} N$

$9 \times 10^{-3} N$

Correct Answer:

$6 \times 10^{-3} N$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $6 \times 10^{-3} N$

According to Coloumb's law -

$F=K\frac{|q_1q_2|}{r^2}$

$=8.99×10^9×\frac{4×10^{-7}×6×10^{-7}}{(0.6)^2}$

$≃6 \times 10^{-3} N$
