Solution

The correct option is C

1.44×10-11NC


Step 1: Given data

Distance between two particles:

r=1Aor=1×10-10m

As there is an unbalanced positive charge on the deutron, thus, the charge on the deuteron is q=+1e=1.6×10-19C

Step 2: Formula used

Using the formula of the electric field:

E=14πεo×qr2

Here,

q is the charge.

E is the electric field.

r is the distance.

Step 3: Calculation

E=9×109×1.6×10-191×10-102

E=1.44×1011N/C

Hence, the magnitude of the intensity of the electric field due to deuteron on the alpha particle is 1.44×1011N/C.
