Physics-Coulomb's Law

NEET Physics Coulomb's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Two point charges q1 = 3 μC and q2 = -6 μC are placed 4 cm apart in vacuum. Calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them using Coulomb's law.

A

2.7 N

B

4.05 N

C

5.4 N

D

6.75 N

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using Coulomb's law, F = k * |q1 * q2| / r², where k = 9 × 10^9 N m²/C², q1 = 3 × 10^-6 C, q2 = 6 × 10^-6 C, and r = 0.04 m. The calculation gives F = 4.05 N.
