Answer:
they move towards the positive side... that's option 2
Answer:
+1.46×10¯⁶ C
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Charge 1 (q₁) = +26.3 μC = +26.3×10¯⁶ C
Force (F) = 0.615 N
Distance apart (r) = 0.750 m
Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Charge 2 (q₂) =?
The value of the second charge can be obtained as follow:
F = Kq₁q₂ / r²
0.615 = 9×10⁹ × 26.3×10¯⁶ × q₂ / 0.750²
0.615 = 236700 × q₂ / 0.5625
Cross multiply
236700 × q₂ = 0.615 × 0.5625
Divide both side by 236700
q₂ = (0.615 × 0.5625) / 236700
q₂ = +1.46×10¯⁶ C
NOTE: The force between them is repulsive as stated from the question. This means that both charge has the same sign. Since the first charge has a positive sign, the second charge also has a positive sign. Thus, the value of the second charge is +1.46×10¯⁶ C
Answer:
W = 2.74 J
Explanation:
The work done by the charge on the origin to the moving charge is equal to the difference in the potential energy of the charges.
This is the electrostatic equivalent of the work-energy theorem.
where the potential energy is defined as follows
Let's first calculate the distance 'r' for both positions.
Now, we can calculate the potential energies for both positions.
Finally, the total work done on the moving particle can be calculated.
