Q84 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

Three point charges q,-2q  and 2q are placed on x axis at a distance x=0,x=34R and x=R respectively from origin as shown. If q=2×10-6 C and R=2 cm, the magnitude of net force experienced by the charge -2q is _____ N.

Correct answer: 5440

Solution

The net force on the given charge will be the resultant of the forces due to the other two charges.

Hence, the net force Fn can be calculated as follows:

Fn= 14πε04q2R42-14πε02q23R42=9×109×16q2R24-29=9×109×16×2×10-6 C20.02 m2×349=5440 N

Hence, the correct answer is 5440.
