Electric Charges and Fields

  1. Two positive ions, each carrying a charge q, are separated by a distance d. If F is the force of repulsion between the ions, the number of electrons missing from each ion will be (e being the charge of an electron)
    1. 4πε0 Fd2
      e2
    2. 4πε0 Fe2
      d2
    3. 4πε0 Fd2
      e2
    4. 4πε0 Fd2
      q2
Correct Option: C

Let n be the number of electrons missing.

F =
1
.
q2
4πε0d2

⇒ q = √4πε0 d2 F = ne
∴ n =
4πε0 Fd2
e2
