Physics-Coulomb's Law

NEET Physics Coulomb's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Two point charges, q1 = 3 µC and q2 = -3 µC, are placed 10 cm apart in vacuum. What is the magnitude of the force between them?

A

8.1 N

B

9.0 N

C

8.1 × 10^-9 N

D

9.0 × 10^-9 N

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using Coulomb's law, F = k * |q1 * q2| / r^2, and substituting k = 9 × 10^9 Nm^2/C^2, q1 = 3 × 10^-6 C, q2 = -3 × 10^-6 C, and r = 0.1 m, we get F ≈ 8.1 N.
