so that a charge Q be divided equally into two parts to have maximum force repulsion between them
Answers
Answer:
its too deifficult question
show that a charge Q be divided equally into q=Q/2
1). Force between two charged particles is given by
F = (K*Q1*Q2)/(R*R) where K is Force constant Q1 is first charge , Q2 is second charge , R is distance between them
2). So for given question R is constant
so let us assume C=K/(R*R) where C is another constant
3). Let us assume the charge Q is divided into two parts one having a charge q then the other one will have charge (Q-q)
4). putting these things in the force equation we get
F = C*q*(Q-q)
5). for maximum we differentiate this with respect to q and equate to zero
we get
0 = C*(Q-q) - C*q Dividing by C on both sides and cancelling it
implies (Q-q) - q = 0
Q -2q = 0
Q/2 = q
there for maximum force of repulsion charge must be divided into equal parts
