Two equal charges are placed at a separation of 1.0 m. What should be the magnitude of the charges, so that the force between them equals the weight of a 50 kg person?

उत्तर
Let the magnitude of each charge be q.
Separation between them, r = 1 m
Force between them, F = 50 × 9.8 = 490 N
By Coulomb's Law force, \[F = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}\]
\[\Rightarrow 490 = 9 \times {10}^9 \times \frac{q^2}{1^2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow q^2 = 54 . 4 \times {10}^{- 9} \]
\[ \Rightarrow q = \sqrt{54 . 4 \times {10}^{- 9}} = 23 . 323 \times {10}^{- 5} C\]
\[\text{ Or q }= 2 . 3 \times {10}^{- 4} C\]

There is another useful system of units, besides the SI/mks A system, called the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system. In this system Coloumb’s law is given by
F = `(Qq)/r^2 hatr`
where the distance r is measured in cm (= 10–2 m), F in dynes (= 10–5 N) and the charges in electrostatic units (es units), where 1 es unit of charge = `1/([3]) xx 10^-9 C`
The number [3] actually arises from the speed of light in vaccum which is now taken to be exactly given by c = 2.99792458 × 108 m/s. An approximate value of c then is c = [3] × 108 m/s.
(i) Show that the coloumb law in cgs units yields
1 esu of charge = 1 (dyne)1/2 cm.
Obtain the dimensions of units of charge in terms of mass M, length L and time T. Show that it is given in terms of fractional powers of M and L.
(ii) Write 1 esu of charge = x C, where x is a dimensionless number. Show that this gives
`1/(4pi ∈_0) = 10^-9/x^2 (N*m^2)/C^2`
With `x = 1/([3]) xx 10^-9`, we have `1/(4pi ∈_0) = [3]^2 xx 10^9 (Nm^2)/C^2`
or, `1/(4pi ∈_0) = (2.99792458)^2 xx 10^9 (Nm^2)/C^2` (exactly).
