Two identical metal spheres with +12 muF and -8 muF are kept at certain distance in air . They are brought into contact and then kept at the same distance . The ratio of the magnitudes of electrostaticforces between them beforeand after contact is

Answer»

`24:1`
`4:1`
`12 :1`
`8:1`

Solution :Perhaps by a printing error , the CHARGES are given in this problem as `12muFand-8muF`instead of `12muCand-8muC`.

FORCE `F_(1)=-(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))*((12XX10^(-6)xx8xx10^(-6)))/(d^(2))`

`thereforeF_(2)=+(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))*((2XX10^(-6)xx2xx10^(-6)))/(d^(2)`
`therefore(F_(1))/(F_(2))=(96)/(4)=(24)/(1)`.
