JEE PHYSICS MCQ: ELECTRIC FIELDS AND CHARGES

1 Medium
1 of 1
Analyzing +4 | -1
Two identical conducting spheres carrying different charges attract each other with a force FF when placed in air medium at a distance dd apart. The spheres are brought into contact and then taken to their original positions. Now the two spheres repel each other with a force whose magnitude is equal to that of the initial attractive force. The ratio between initial charges on the spheres is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
−3(3+√8)or(−3+√8)- 3\left( {3 + \surd 8} \right)\mathrm{or}\left( { - 3 + \surd 8} \right)
Option A (−(3+√8)- \left( {3 + \surd 8} \right) only) is incorrect. Option B (−3+√8- 3 + \surd 8 only) is incorrect. Option D (+3+ \sqrt 3) is incorrect. Option C (−3(3+√8)or(−3+√8)- 3\left( {3 + \surd 8} \right)\mathrm{or}\left( { - 3 + \surd 8} \right)) is correct because it is derived from equating the magnitudes of the attractive and repulsive forces after the spheres are brought into contact.
