Electrostatics Question 693

Question: Three identical spheres, each having a charge q And radius R, are kept in such a way that each touches the other two. The magnitude of the electric force any sphere due to the other two is

Options:

A) 14πε0(qR)2

B) 34πε0(qR)2

C) 316πε0(qR)2

D) 516πε0(qR)2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] For external points, a charged sphere behaves as if he whole of its charge is concentrated at its center.

Force on A due to B.

FAB=14πε0q2(2R)2

=14πε0q24R2along BA

And force on A due to C,

FAB=14πε0q2(2R)2==14πε0q24R2along CA

Now as angle between BA and CA is 60

and |FAB|=|FAC|=F

FA=F2+F2+2FFcos60=3F

=14πε034(qR)2
