Final answer:
The magnitude of the electric force between two masses with charges 1.0μC each and separated by 1.0m is 9 x 10^-7 N.
Step-by-step explanation:
The magnitude of the electric force between two masses can be calculated using Coulomb's law:
F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2
Where:
- F is the magnitude of the electric force
- k is the Coulomb's constant (approximately 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2)
- q1 and q2 are the charges of the masses (1.0μC in this case)
- r is the distance between the masses (1.0m in this case)
Substituting the values into the equation:
F = (9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2) * (1.0μC * 1.0μC) / (1.0m)^2
F = 9 x 10^-7 N
Therefore, the magnitude of the electric force on one of the masses is 9 x 10^-7 N.
