AIIMS 2019 Physics Forces between charges MCQ Question
If two protons are moving with speed v = 4.5×10⁵ m/s parallel to each other then the ratio of electrostatic and magnetic force between them
4.5×10⁵
2.2×10⁵
3.3×10⁵
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The ratio of the electrostatic force (Fₑ) to the magnetic force (Fₘ) between two protons moving parallel to each other can be derived from Coulomb's law and the Biot-Savart law. The electrostatic force is given by , where is Coulomb's constant and is the charge of the proton, while the magnetic force is for two moving charges. The ratio simplifies to , where is the speed of light, leading to a numerical value of approximately when substituting . Other options do not match this calculated ratio, making them incorrect.
