Question

What electric force would a stationary 3.8 C charge experience if it were far away from any other charges

Answer 1

The electric force will be 0 N

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the charge is
`q_1 = 3.8 \ C`

Generally from Coulombs law the electric force between two charges is mathematically represented as

`F = ( k * q_1 q_2 )/(r^2)`

Here r is the distance of separation between that two charges.

Now from the question we are told that the charge is far away from any other charge hence we can say that the distance between the charge and any other charge is
`r = \infty`

So

`F = ( k * 3.8 * q_2 )/(\infty^2)`

=>
`F =0 \ N`

Hence the electric force will be 0 N
