An infinite number of charges, each of charge 
, are placed on the X-axis with coordinates 
. If a charge of 1 C is kept at the origin, then what is the net force acting on IC charge?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The schematic diagram of distribution of charges on X-axis is shown in figure below.
Total force acting on 1 C charge is given by
F = 
= 
= 
=
