The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of the electrostatic forces acting on two charges \( Q_1 \) and \( Q_2 \), we can use Coulomb's Law. Let's denote the charges as follows: - \( Q_1 = +1 \mu C = 1 \times 10^{-6} C \) - \( Q_2 = +2 \mu C = 2 \times 10^{-6} C \) ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Charges and Distance**: - Let \( Q_1 = 1 \mu C \) and \( Q_2 = 2 \mu C \). - Let the distance between the charges be \( R \). 2. **Apply Coulomb's Law**: - According to Coulomb's Law, the force \( F \) between two point charges is given by: \[ F = k \frac{|Q_1 Q_2|}{R^2} \] where \( k \) is Coulomb's constant (\( k = 8.99 \times 10^9 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}^2 \)). 3. **Calculate the Force on Each Charge**: - The force acting on \( Q_1 \) due to \( Q_2 \) (denoted as \( F_{12} \)): \[ F_{12} = k \frac{|Q_1 Q_2|}{R^2} = k \frac{(1 \times 10^{-6})(2 \times 10^{-6})}{R^2} \] - The force acting on \( Q_2 \) due to \( Q_1 \) (denoted as \( F_{21} \)): \[ F_{21} = k \frac{|Q_2 Q_1|}{R^2} = k \frac{(2 \times 10^{-6})(1 \times 10^{-6})}{R^2} \] 4. **Determine the Ratio of Forces**: - Since \( F_{12} = F_{21} \), we can express the ratio of the forces: \[ \frac{F_{12}}{F_{21}} = \frac{k \frac{(1 \times 10^{-6})(2 \times 10^{-6})}{R^2}}{k \frac{(2 \times 10^{-6})(1 \times 10^{-6})}{R^2}} = 1 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - The ratio of the electrostatic forces acting on the two charges is: \[ \frac{F_{12}}{F_{21}} = 1 \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the electrostatic forces acting on the charges \( Q_1 \) and \( Q_2 \) is \( 1:1 \). ---
