By using Coulomb’s law, define unit charge.

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

In $SI$, the unit of charge is Coulomb.

Putting value of $q_{1}=q_{2}=1 \mathrm{C}, r=1 \mathrm{~m}$ in $\mathrm{F}=k \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2}}$, then $\mathrm{F}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~N}$

Definition of $1 \mathrm{C}: 1 \mathrm{C}$ is the charge that when placed at a distance of $1 \mathrm{~m}$ from another charge of the same magnitude in vacuum experiences an electrical force of repulsion of magnitude $9 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~N}$.

Figure represents a crystal unit of cesium chloride, $\mathrm{CsCl}$. The cesium atoms, represented by open circles are situated at the corners of a cube of side $0.40\,\mathrm{nm}$, whereas a $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom is situated at the centre of the cube. The $\mathrm{Cs}$ atoms are deficient in one electron while the $\mathrm{Cl}$ atom carries an excess electron.
