A total charge $Q$ is broken in two parts $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ and they are placed at a distance $R$ from each other. The maximum force of repulsion between them will occur, when

  • A

    ${Q_2} = \frac{Q}{R},{Q_1} = Q - \frac{Q}{R}$

  • B

    ${Q_2} = \frac{Q}{4},{Q_1} = Q - \frac{{2Q}}{3}$

  • C

    ${Q_2} = \frac{Q}{4},{Q_1} = \frac{{3Q}}{4}$

  • D

    ${Q_1} = \frac{Q}{2},{Q_2} = \frac{Q}{2}$

Two identical small spheres carry charge of $Q_1$ and $Q_2$ with $Q_1>>Q_2.$ The charges are $d$ distance apart. The force they exert on one another is $F_1.$ The spheres are made to touch one another and then separated to distance $d$ apart. The force they exert on one another now is $F_2.$ Then $F_1/F_2$ is

Assertion : The positive charge particle is placed in front of a spherical uncharged conductor. The number of lines of forces terminating on the sphere will be more than those emerging from it.

Reason : The surface charge density at a point on the sphere nearest to the point charge will be negative and maximum in magnitude compared to other points on the sphere
