Consider two charges, q1=3C and q2=2C 2m apart from each other. Calculate the electric force between them. Is the force attractive or repulsive?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Electric force between the charges, [tex]F=1.35\times 10^{10}\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge 1, q₁ = 3 C

Charge 2, q₂ = 2 C

Distance between them, r = 2 m

We need to find the electric force between them. The formula for electric force is given by :

[tex]F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

k is the electrostatic constant

[tex]F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{3\ C\times 2\ C}{(2\ m)^2}[/tex]

[tex]F=1.35\times 10^{10}\ N[/tex]

So, the force between the charges is [tex]1.35\times 10^{10}\ N[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
