Q145 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2017 (26 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

'N' point charges are distributed into two groups and separated by a fixed distance. Then the ratio of maximum to minimum forces between the two groups is $(\mathrm{N}$ is even and greater than 2). Options :

  • A
    $\frac{(\mathrm{N}-1)^2}{4 \mathrm{~N}^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{4 \mathrm{~N}^2}{\mathrm{~N}-1}$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\frac{\mathrm{N}^2}{4(\mathrm{~N}-1)}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 \mathrm{~N}^2}{\mathrm{~N}-1}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
