1. Electric Charges and Fields
medium
Two identical conducing spheres having unequal positive charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by distance $r$. If they are made to touch each other and then separated again to the same distance. The electrostatic force between the spheres in this case will be (neglect induction of charges)
A
Less than before
B
Same as before
C
More then before
D
Zero
Solution
$\mathrm{F}_{1} \propto \mathrm{q}_{1} \mathrm{q}_{2}$
$\mathrm{F}_{2} \propto\left(\frac{\mathrm{q}_{1}+\mathrm{q}_{2}}{2}\right)^{2}$
So $\mathrm{F}_{2}>\mathrm{F}_{1}$
