1. Electric Charges and Fields
medium
An infinite number of point charges, each carrying $1 \,\mu C$ charge, are placed along the y-axis at $y=1\, m , 2\, m , 4 \,m , 8\, m \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$
The total force on a $1 \,C$ point charge, placed at the origin, is $x \times 10^{3}\, N$. The value of $x$, to the nearest integer, is .........
[Take $\left.\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} \,Nm ^{2} / C ^{2}\right]$
A
$9$
B
$16$
C
$12$
D
$24$
(JEE MAIN-2021)
Solution

$F=k(1 C)(1 \mu C)\left[1+\frac{1}{2^{2}}+\frac{1}{4^{2}}+\frac{1}{8^{2}}+\ldots\right]$
$=9 \times 10^{3}\left[\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{4}}\right]=12 \times 10^{3}\, N$
