NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Two point charges, q1 = 3 μC and q2 = -3 μC, are placed 0.1 m apart. What is the magnitude of the force exerted on each charge?

A

8.1 N

B

0.81 N

C

9.0 N

D

0.9 N

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using Coulomb's law, the force is calculated as F = k * |q1 * q2| / r^2. With k = 8.99 x 10^9 N m²/C², q1 = 3 x 10^-6 C, q2 = -3 x 10^-6 C, and r = 0.1 m, the magnitude of the force is 8.1 N.
