A charge of $4\,\mu C$ is to be divided into two. The distance between the two divided charges is constant. The magnitude of the divided charges so that the force between them is maximum, will be.

A

$1\; \mu C$ and $3\; \mu C$

B

$2\; \mu C$ and $2\; \mu C$

C

$0$ and $4\; \mu C$

D

$1.5\; \mu C$ and $2.5\; \mu C$

Solution

$F =\frac{ Kq (4- q )}{ d ^{2}}$

$\frac{ dF }{ dq }=\frac{ K }{ d ^{2}}[4-2 q ]=0$

$q =2$
