Question

Two small conducting spheres of equal radius have charges $+ 10 μ C$ and $- 20 μ C$ respectively and placed at a distance R from each other experience force $F_{1}$ . If they are brought in contact and separated to the same distance, they experience force $F_{2}$ . The ratio of $F_{1}$ to $F_{2}$ is

Solution

The correct option is B -8 : 1
$F \propto Q_{1} Q_{2} \Rightarrow \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}} = \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{Q_{1} Q_{2}} = \frac{10 \times - 20}{- 5 x - 5} = - \frac{8}{1}$
