Assume that you have $10^{23}$ carbon atoms. All the nuclei are placed at the North Pole of the Earth and all the electrons are placed at the South Pole of the Earth. (Radius of Earth = $6400 \ km$). The force between the charges is approximately:

  • A
    $5 \times 10^5 \ N$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^6 \ N$
  • C
    $13.6 \times 10^3 \ N$
  • D
    $2 \times 10^5 \ N$

Two beads,each with charge $q$ and mass $m$,are on a horizontal,frictionless,non-conducting,circular hoop of radius $R$. One of the beads is glued to the hoop at some point,while the other one performs small oscillations about its equilibrium position along the hoop. The square of the angular frequency of the small oscillations is given by [ $\varepsilon_0$ is the permittivity of free space.]
