A charge is to be divided into two small parts. What should be the value of the charges on the parts so that the force between the parts will be maximum?

Answer»

Solution :Let Q and (Q-q) be the charges on those bodies FORCE between the charges
`F= 1/(4 pi in_0) ((Q - q)q)/(r^2)`, For F to be maximum `(dF)/(dq) = 0`
`d/(dq)(Q - q)q = 0 implies (Q - q) q = 0 implies (Q- q) + (-q) = 0 implies Q - 2 q = 0, q = Q//2`.
Thus the CHARGE should be divided equally on the objects.
