4μC 1μC
2μC 2μC
1μC 2μC
1μC 8μC
2μC 8μC

Explanation:

Force between two charges can be expressed as follows

F = k q₁ q₂ / d²

q₁ and q₂ are two charges , d is distance between them , k is a constant whose value is 9 x 10⁹

distance between charges is fixed which is 4 -2 = 2 cm = 2 x 10⁻² m

force between 1μC and  4μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 4 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 9 x 10 = 90 N

force between 4μC and  1μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 4 x 1 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 9 x 10 = 90 N

force between 2μC and  2μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 2 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 9 x 10 = 90 N

force between 1μC and  2μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 2 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 4.5 x 10 = 45 N

force between 1μC and  8μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 8 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 18 x 10 = 180 N

force between 2μC and  8μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 8 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 36 x 10 = 360 N
