Answer:
Given:
Charge Q is divided into 2 parts q and (Q-q) and separated by a distance d.
To find:
Distribution of charge such that the force of Repulsion is maximum.
Concept:
We shall find out the maximum force such that it's First - Order derivative will be equal to zero (Maxima will be reached).
Calculation:
Let k be Coulomb's constant,
Now performing 1st order derivative with respect to q.
For Maxima , dF/dq = 0
So maximum force of Repulsion only when
q = Q/2
Option B
QUESTION :
A charge, Q is divided into two parts, "q" and " Q - q " and separated by a distance " R " The force of repulsion between them will be the maximum when :
1. q = Q / 4
2. q = Q / 2 √√√√√√√√
3. q = Q
4. q = Q / 8
SOLUTION :
First we need to find the electrostatic Force of repulsion between the two charges q and Q, separated by a distance , R
=> F = { 1 / 4 π e 0 } × { qQ - Q ^ 2 / R ^ 2 }
Now, we have the following condition..
The force of repulsion between them is maximum.
Thus :
Now, d/dx of K is 0
So, Q - 2q = 0
=> q = Q / 2
