Question

Two identical particles each of mass M and charge Q are placed a certain distance part. If they are in equilibrium under mutual gravitational and electric force then calculate the order of QM in SI units.

Open in App
Solution

As the given system of charges are in equilibrium,

hence Fe=Fg

Fe is the electric force between the charges which is

repelling them while Fg is the gravitational force of attraction.

ie. KQ2R2=GM2R2

or , KQ2=GM2

or , (QM)2=(GK)

or , QM=(GK)12

as G = 6.67×1011Nm2/Kg2

and K = 9×109Nm2/C2

(QM)2=(6.67×1011)(9×109)

or QM=[0.7411×10(11+9)]12

or QM=(0.7411×1020)12

we get QM=0.86×1010 c / kg
