A certain charge Q is divided into two parts q and `Q-q`, wheich are then separated by a cetain distance. What must q be in terms of Q to maximum the electrostatic repulsion between the two charges?

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`F=(kq(Q-q))/r^2` (where `k=1/(4piepsilon_0))`
For F to be maximum `(dF)/(dq)=0`
By putting `(dF)/(dq)=0` we get
`q=Q/2`
