Shown below are three separate pair of point charges. Assume the pairs only interact with each other. Compare and rank the magnitudes of the forces between each pair from highest to lowest order.
Compare and rank the magnitudes of the forces between each pair from highest to lowest.
Answer to Problem 1TC
The maximum force is acting between
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for the Coulomb’s force.
Here,
Substitute
Now, substitute
Now, substitute
From equation (1), (2) and (3) the magnitude forces from highest to lowest order.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the maximum force is acting between
