Two identical charges situated 20cm apart in vacuum repel each other with a force of 1.0N.Calculate the value of each other with a force of 1.0N. Calculate the value of each charge. [(14 \(\pi \varepsilon_o)^{-1}\) = 9 x 10⁹Nm²C^-2]

21\(\mu C\)

3.6\(\mu C\)

4.0\(\mu C\)

4.4\(\mu C\)

Correct answer is A

F = \(\frac{Q^2}{4 \pi \varepsilon_o r^2}\)

I = 9 x 10⁹ x \(\frac{Q^2}{0.2^2}\)

Q = \(\sqrt{\frac{0.04}{9 \times 10^9}}\)

= 2.11 x 10^-6
