Ten positively charged particles are kept fixed on the x-axis at points x=10cm, 20cm, 30cm, …, 100cm. The first particle has a charge `1.0xx 10^(-8)C`, the second `8xx10^(-8)` C, the third `27xx10(-8)`C and so on. The tenth particle has a charge `1000xx10^(-8)C.` find the magnitude of the electric force acting on a 1 C charge placed at the origin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`q_(0)K [q_(1)/r_(1)^(2)+q_(2)/r_(2)^(2) ... q_(20)/r_(20)^(2)]=1.89xx10^(6) N`
