If point charges Q ₁=2 10⁻⁷ C and Q ₂=3 10⁻⁷ C are at 30 cm separation, then find electrostatic force between them
Options
- A2 10⁻³ ~N
- B6 10⁻³ ~N
- C5 10⁻³ ~N
- D1 10⁻³ ~N
Correct answer
B. 6 10⁻³ ~N
Step-by-step solution
Electrostatic force, F = k Q ₁ Q ₂ r ^2 =9 10^9 2 10⁻⁷ 3 10⁻⁷ (30 10⁻² )^2 =6 10⁻³ ~N
