Question

A 1.0 C charge is found to exert a force with a magnitude of 1.0 N on a 2.0 C charge. The magnitude of the force exerted by the 2.0 C charge on the 1.0 C charge is: (a)0.5 N (b)1.0 N (c)2.0 N (d).Need to know their distance

Answer 1

b) 1.0 N

Step-by-step explanation:

From Newton's third law we expect that:

the force 1.0 C charge exert on the 2.0 C charge and the force that the 2.0 C charge will exert on the 1.0 C charge to be of the same magnitude but opposite directions.

if the 1.0 C charge exerts a force of 1.0 N on charge 2.0 C charge then charge 2.0 C will exert the force of the same magnitude of 1.0 N.
