1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy

Force of attraction between two point charges $Q$ and $-Q$ separated by $d\,$ metre is ${F_e}$. When these charges are placed on two identical spheres of radius $R = 0.3\,d$ whose centres are $d\,$ metre apart, the force of attraction between them is

A

Greater than ${F_e}$

B

Equal to ${F_e}$

C

Less than ${F_e}$

D

None of these

Solution

(a) Separation between the spheres is not too large as compared to their radius so due to induction effect redistribution of charge takes place. Hence effective charge separation decreases so force increases.
