Question

A negative charge of -2 C and a positive charge of 5 C are separated by 84,752 m. What is the force between the two charges?

Answer 1

F = 12.52 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q₁ = -2 C

Charge, q₂ = 5 C

The distance between charges, d = 84,752 m

We need to find the force between the two charges. The force between two charges is given by :

`F=k(q_1q_2)/(d^2)\\\\F=9* 10^9* (2* 5)/((84752)^2)\\F=12.52\ N`

So, the force between charges is 12.52 N.
