प्रश्न
Two particles A and B, each carrying a charge Q, are held fixed with a separation dbetween them. A particle C of mass m and charge q is kept at the middle point of the line AB. Assuming x<<d, show that this force is proportional to x.

उत्तर
When x < < d:
\[F' = \frac{1}{2 \pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQx}{\left( \frac{d}{2} \right)^3} \left( \because x^2 < < \left( \frac{d}{2} \right)^2 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow F' = \frac{4}{\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQx}{d^3}\]

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`

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.

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

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).
