Two identical charged particles each having a mass 10g10g and charge 2.0×10−7C2 . 0 \times {10}^{- 7}C are placed on a horizontal table with a separation of LL between them such that they stay in limited equilibrium. If the coefficient of friction between each particle and the table is 0.250 . 25, find the value of LL. [Use g=10ms−2g = 10{ms}^{- 2} ]

Options

  1. A12cm12cm
  2. B10cm10cm
  3. C8cm8cm
  4. D5cm5cm

Correct answer

A. 12cm12cm

Step-by-step solution

Normal reaction applied by table on object will be, N=mgN = mg.

Both charges are same, hence a repulsive force will act between them.

Value of force acting will be, kQ2L2\dfrac{k{Q}^{2}}{{L}^{2}}.

Now the maximum value of friction force which table can provide is,

=\muN=\mumg= \muN = \mumg

For equilibrium, kQ2L2=\mumg\dfrac{k{Q}^{2}}{{L}^{2}} = \mumg.

L=kQ2\mumg=k0.25mgQ=2kmgQL = \sqrt{\dfrac{k{Q}^{2}}{\mumg}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{k}{0 . 25mg}}Q = 2\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{mg}}Q

=29×10910×10−3×10(2×10−7)=0.12m=12cm= 2\sqrt{\dfrac{9 \times {10}^{9}}{10 \times {10}^{- 3} \times 10}}\left(2 \times {10}^{- 7}\right) = 0 . 12m = 12cm
