Question

what is the distance between two spheres, each with a charge 2.5x10-6 C when the force between them is 0.50 N

Answer 1

The distance between charges is 0.33 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The charge on each sphere is
`2.5* 10^(-6)\ C`

Force between charges is 0.5 N

It is required to find the distance between spheres. The force between two charges is called electrical force. The force between them is given by :

`F=(kq^2)/(r^2)`

r is distance between charges

`r=\sqrt{(kq^2)/(F)} \\\\r=\sqrt{(9* 10^9* (2.5* 10^(-6))^2)/(0.5)} \\\\r=0.33\ m`

So, the distance between charges is 0.33 m.
