Two copper balls, each weighing 10g are kept in air 10 cm apart. If one electron from every 106 atoms is transferred from one ball to the other, the coulomb force between them is (atomic weight of copper is 63.5)

  • Option 1)

    2.0\times 10^{10}N

  • Option 2)

    2.0\times 10^{4}N

  • Option 3)

As we learned

Properties of Charge -

Transferable 

- wherein

It can be transferred from one body to another.

 

 Number of atoms in given mass =  \frac{10}{63.5}\times 6.02\times 10^{23}=9.48\times 10^{22}

Transfer of electron between balls = \frac{9.48\times 10^{22}}{10^{6}}=9.48\times10^{16}

Hence magnitude of charge gained by each ball.

Q=9.48\times 10^{16}\times1.6\times10^{-19}=0.015\: C

Force of attraction between the balls  F=9\times 10^{9}\times\frac{(0.015)^{2}}{(0.1)^{2}}=2\times10^{8}N


Option 1)

2.0\times 10^{10}N

Option 2)

2.0\times 10^{4}N

Option 3)

2.0\times 10^{8}N

Option 4)

2.0\times 10^{6}N
