A point charge q=1 μ C is located at a distance 2 cm from one end...
A point charge is located at a distance 2 cm from one end of a thin insulating wire of length 10 cm having a charge , distributed uniformly along its length, as shown in figure. Force between and wire is N. (Use : )

Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- CStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer
D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Step-by-step solution
Consider a small element of length on the wire at a distance from the point charge .
The linear charge density of the wire is C/m.
The charge on the small element is .
The electrostatic force between the point charge and the element is .
The total force is obtained by integrating from to , where cm and cm.
Substituting the given values: N.m/C, C, C, m, and m.
