Question

Two charged particles (Q1 = 0.000003 C; Q2 = 0.000003 C) a distance 0.02 m from each other. Find the Force on the particles ?

Answer 1

202.5 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Q1 = 0.000003 C

Q2 = 0.000003 C

d = 0.02 m

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is given by

F = k Q1 x Q2 / d^2

F = ( 9 x 10^9 x 0.000003 x 0.000003 ) / (0.02 x 0.02)

F = 202.5 N repulsive

A both the charges are same in nature so they repel each other.
