Electric Charges And Fields Ques 1
1. Two point charges $A$ and $B$, having charges $+Q$ and $-Q$ respectively, are placed at certain distance apart and force acting between them is $F$. If $25 \%$ charge of $A$ is transferred to $B$, then force between the charges becomes:

(a) $F$
(b) $\frac{9 F}{16}$
(c) $\frac{16 F}{9}$
(d) $\frac{4 F}{3}$
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) We know that,

If $25 \%$ of charges of A transfer to B then
$q_A=Q-\frac{Q}{4}=\frac{3 Q}{4}$ and $q_B=-Q+\frac{Q}{4}=\frac{-3 Q}{4}$

$F_1=\frac{kq_A q_B}{r^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow F_1=\frac{k(\frac{3 Q}{4})^{2}}{r^{2}}=\frac{9}{16} \frac{kQ}{r^{2}}=\frac{9 F}{16}$
