Three point charges $q,-2 q$ and $2 q$ are placed on $x$-axis at a distance $x=0, x=\frac{3}{4} R$ and $x=R$ respectively from origin as shown. If $q =2 \times 10^{-6}\,C$ and $R =2\,cm$, the magnitude of net force experienced by the charge $-2 q$ is .......... $N$

A

$5442$

B

$5440$

C

$5448$

D

$5475$

Solution

$F _{ BA }=\frac{ Kq (2 q )}{\left(\frac{3}{4} R \right)^2}=\frac{32 Kq ^2}{9 R ^2}$

$F _{ BC }=\frac{ K (2 q )(2 q )}{\left(\frac{ R }{4}\right)^2}=\frac{64 Kq ^2}{ R ^2}$

$F _{ B }= F _{ BC }- F _{ BA }=\frac{544 Kq ^2}{9 R ^2}$

$=\frac{544 \times 9 \times 10^9 \times\left(2 \times 10^{-6}\right)^2}{9 \times\left(2 \times 10^{-2}\right)^2}=5440\,N$
