The force between the two point charge when they are separated by 18 cm is 3 N
<h3>How do I determine the force when they are 18 cm apart?</h3>
Coulomb's law states as follow:
F = Kq₁q₂ / r²
Cross multiply
Fr² = Kq₁q₂
Kq₁q₂ => constant
F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²
Where
- F₁ and F₂ are the initial and new force
- r₁ and r₂ are the initial and new distance apart
With the above formula, we can obtain the force between the two point charge when they are 18 cm apart. Details below:
- Initial distance apart (r₁) = 6 cm
- Initial force of attraction (F₁) = 27 N
- New distance apart (r₂) = 18 cm
- New force of attraction (F₂) =?
F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²
27 × 6² = F₂ × 18²
972 = F₂ × 324
Divide both side by 324
F₂ = 927 / 324
F₂ = 3 N
Thus, the force when they are 18 cm apart is 3 N
