Physics-Coulomb's Law

NEET Physics Coulomb's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Two point charges q1 = 2 μC and q2 are placed 0.3 m apart. If the electrostatic force between them is 0.06 N, what is the magnitude of q2?

A

0.027 μC

B

0.134 μC

C

0.100 μC

D

0.067 μC

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using Coulomb's law F = k(q1*q2)/r², with F = 0.06 N, q1 = 2 μC, r = 0.3 m, and k = 8.98755 x 10^9 N m²/C², solving for q2 gives approximately 0.067 μC.
