The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the forces between two point charges before and after transferring a portion of charge from one to the other. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Charges:** - Charge A: \( +Q \) - Charge B: \( -Q \) 2. **Calculate the Initial Force (F):** Using Coulomb's Law, the force \( F \) between two point charges is given by: \[ F = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{Q \cdot (-Q)}{R^2} = \frac{-Q^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 R^2} \] Since we are interested in the magnitude, we can write: \[ F = \frac{Q^2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 R^2} \] 3. **Transfer 25% of Charge from A to B:** - Amount transferred from A to B: \[ \text{Charge transferred} = 0.25Q = \frac{Q}{4} \] - New charge on A: \[ Q_A' = Q - \frac{Q}{4} = \frac{3Q}{4} \] - New charge on B: \[ Q_B' = -Q + \frac{Q}{4} = -\frac{4Q}{4} + \frac{Q}{4} = -\frac{3Q}{4} \] 4. **Calculate the New Force (F'):** Now, we calculate the new force \( F' \) between the new charges \( Q_A' \) and \( Q_B' \): \[ F' = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{\left(\frac{3Q}{4}\right) \cdot \left(-\frac{3Q}{4}\right)}{R^2} \] Simplifying this: \[ F' = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{-\frac{9Q^2}{16}}{R^2} = \frac{9Q^2}{16 \cdot 4 \pi \epsilon_0 R^2} \] 5. **Relate F' to F:** Now, we relate the new force \( F' \) to the original force \( F \): \[ F' = \frac{9}{16} F \] ### Final Answer: The new force between the charges after transferring 25% of charge from A to B becomes: \[ F' = \frac{9}{16} F \]
