Two insulated charged metallic spheres P and Q have their centres separated by a distance of 60 cm. The radii of P and Q are negligible compared to the distance of separation. The mutual force of electrostatic repulsion if the charge on each is `3.2xx10^(-7)C` is
A. `5.2xx10^(-4)N`
B. `2.5xx10^(-3)N`
C. `1.5xx10^(-3)N`
D. `3.5xx10^(-4)N`

Correct Answer - B
Here, `q_(1)=q_(2)=3.2xx10^(-7)C`, r = 60cm = 0.6m Electrostatic force,
`F=1/(4piepsilon_(0))(q_(1)q_(2))/(r^(2))=(9xx10^(9)(3.2xx10^(-7))^(2))/((0.6)^(2))=2.56xx10^(-3)N`
