प्रश्न
NaCl molecule is bound due to the electric force between the sodium and the chlorine ions when one electron of sodium is transferred to chlorine. Taking the separation between the ions to be 2.75 × 10−8 cm, find the force of attraction between them. State the assumptions (if any) that you have made.
उत्तर
Let the given separation between the ions, i.e. 2.75 × 10−8 cm, be the separation between the transferred electron and the sodium nucleus.
Net charge on thechlorine ion, q1 = \[- 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}\] c
Net charge on the sodium ion, q2 = \[1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19}\] c
By Coulomb's Law, force,
\[= \frac{9 \times {10}^9 \times \left( 1 . 6 \times {10}^{- 19} \right)^2}{\left( 2 . 75 \times {10}^{- 10} \right)^2}\]
\[ = 3 . 05 \times {10}^{- 9} N\]

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.

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).
