Electrostatics Question 694

Question: Two identical blocks are kept on a frictionless horizontal table connected by a spring of stiffness k and of original length $ l _{0}. $ A total charge Q is distributed of spring at equilibrium of equal to x. Value of Q is

Options:

A) $ 2{\ell _{0}}\sqrt{4\pi {\varepsilon _{0}}k( {\ell _{0}}+x )} $

B) $ 2x\sqrt{4\pi {\varepsilon _{0}}k( {\ell _{0}}+x )} $

C) $ 2( {\ell _{0}}+x )\sqrt{4\pi {\varepsilon _{0}}kx} $

D) $ ( {\ell _{0}}+x )\sqrt{4\pi {\varepsilon _{0}}kx} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] For maximum elongation charges on the blocks must be equal to 0/2 on each block.

$ \therefore \frac{1}{4\pi {\varepsilon _{0}}}\frac{\frac{Q}{2}\frac{Q}{2}}{{{( {\ell _{0}}+x )}^{2}}}=kx\text{ }Q=2( {\ell _{0}}+x )\sqrt{4\pi {\varepsilon _{0}}kx}. $
