$A$ point charge $q$ is situated at a distance $d$ from one end of a thin non-conducting rod of length $L$ having a charge $Q$ (uniformly distributed along its length) as shown in the figure. Then the magnitude of the electric force between them is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{qQ}{2d(d+L)}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{2qQ}{d(d+L)}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{qQ}{3d(d+L)}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{qQ}{d(d+L)}$

The ratio of Coulomb's electrostatic force to the gravitational force between an electron and a proton separated by some distance is $2.4 \times 10^{39}$. The ratio of the proportionality constant $K = \frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0}$ to the gravitational constant $G$ is nearly (Given that the charge of the proton and electron each $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; C$,the mass of the electron $= 9.11 \times 10^{-31} \; kg$,the mass of the proton $= 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \; kg$):
