Two identical charges situated 20cm apart in vacuum repel each other with a force of 1.0N.Calculate the value of each other with a force of 1.0N. Calculate the value of each charge. [(14 \(\pi \varepsilon_o)^{-1}\) = 9 x 109Nm2C-2]
-
21\(\mu C\)
- 3.6\(\mu C\)
- 4.0\(\mu C\)
- 4.4\(\mu C\)
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
F = \(\frac{Q^2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_o r^2}\)I = 9 x 109 x \(\frac{Q^2}{0.2^2}\)
Q = \(\sqrt{\frac{0.04}{9 \times 10^9}}\)
= 2.11 x 10-6
