Question

The work W required to move a particle from a far distance to within radius r of another particle varies jointly as the product of the two particles' charges q1 and q2 and inversely as the radius r. Write a formula that models this proportion. (Use k as the constant of variation.)

Answer 1

Answer:

W = kq1q2 / r

Step-by-step explanation:

W varies jointly as the product of q1 and q2 and inversely as radius r

Product of q1 and q2 = q1q2

W = (k*q1"q2) / r

W = kq1q2 / r

Where,

W = work

q1 = particle 1

q2 = particle 2

r = radius

k = constant of proportionality

The answer is W = kq1q2 / r
