A certain charge $Q$ is divided into two parts $q$ and $(Q-q) .$ How should the charges $Q$ and $q$ be divided so that $q$ and $(Q-q)$ placed at a certain distance apart experience maximum electrostatic repulsion?
${Q}=\frac{{q}}{2}$
${Q}=3 {q}$
$Q=2 q$
$Q=4 q$
A charge of $4\,\mu C$ is to be divided into two. The distance between the two divided charges is constant. The magnitude of the divided charges so that the force between them is maximum, will be.
Assertion : The Coulomb force is the dominating force in the universe.
Reason : The Coulomb force is weaker than the gravitational force.
Three equal charges $+q$ are placed at the three vertices of an equilateral triangle centred at the origin. They are held in equilibrium by a restoring force of magnitude $F(r)=k r$ directed towards the origin, where $k$ is a constant. What is the distance of the three charges from the origin?
Two charges $ + 4e$ and $ + e$ are at a distance $x$ apart. At what distance, a charge $q$ must be placed from charge $ + e$ so that it is in equilibrium
Why Coulombian force is called two body force ?
