Question

Two particles, one with charge −7.97×10−6 C and the other with charge 6.91×10−6 C, are 0.0359 m apart. What is the magnitude of the force that one particle exerts on the other?

Answer 1

-384.22N

Step-by-step explanation:

From Coulomb's law;

F= Kq1q2/r^2

Where;

K= constant of Coulomb's law = 9 ×10^9 Nm^2C-2

q1 and q2 = magnitudes of the both charges

r= distance of separation

F= 9 ×10^9 × −7.97×10^−6 × 6.91×10^−6/(0.0359)^2

F= -495.65 × 10^-3/ 1.29 × 10^-3

F= -384.22N
