Q147 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2019 (21 Apr Shift 2) · Physics

Two identical charged spheres separated by a distance repel each other with a force F. If 10 % of electrons are transferred from one sphere to the other than the force between them becomes

  • A
    F
  • B
    1.21 F
  • Correct answer
    C
    0.99 F
  • D
    0.81 F

Solution

The figure below represents the two identical spheres.

Figure

The force between the charged sphere is,

F=kqqr2

If 10% of electrons are transferred from one sphere to
another, then the charge become on I sphere is
q+q10=1110q

And the charge on II  sphere is q-q10=910q

The force between the spheres is,

F'=k11q109q10r2

F'=99100kqqr2

F'=99100F=0.99F

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