Anna rubs two balloons against her hair causing the ballons to become negatively charged. Each of the balloons has a charge of 2.4*10^-6 Coulombs. She holds them a distance of 0.06 meters apart. what is the magnitude electrical force between the balloons?

Answer 1

The magnitude electrical force between the balloons is 14.4 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Charge on each balloons,
`q_1=q_2=2.4* 10^(-6)\ C`

Distance between charged balloons, d = 0.06 m

We need to find the magnitude electrical force between the balloons. We know that two charged particle possess electrical force when placed at a certain distance. The force is given by :

`F=k(q_1q_2)/(d^2)`

k is the electrostatic constant

`F=9* 10^9* ((2.4* 10^(-6))^2)/((0.06)^2)\\\\F=14.4\ N`

So, the magnitude electrical force between the balloons is 14.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
