There are two charges and The ratio of forces acting on them will be
There are two charges \( +2 \mu C \) and \( - \) \( 3 \mu C . \) The ratio of forces acting on them will be
- A. 2: 3
- B. 1: 1
- C. 3: 2
- D. 4: 9
Step-by-step solution
According to Newton's third law of motion, the force on charge +2 μC due to -3 μC is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force on -3 μC due to +2 μC. Therefore, the ratio of forces acting on them is 1:1.
