Answer: The distance between the charges is r=0.44m

Explanation

Step one

Using the formula

F = (k q1*q2) /r²

F = electric force

k = Coulomb constant

q1, q2 = charges

r = distance of separation

Step two

Given data

F=179N

q1 and q2=+68.0 µC and +56.0 µC

k=8.98755 × 10^9 N

r=?

Step three

Inputting our values we have

179=8.9875×10^9(68*10^-6*56*10^-6)/r²

179=(8.9875*10^9*3.8*10^-9)r²

179=34.15/r²

Make r subject of formula we have

r²=34.15/179

r²=0.190

r= √0.190

r=0.44m

Coulomb's law states that: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Answer:  

r  = 0.437m≈0.4m

 

Explanation:

F= \frac{KQq}{r²}

Where K= 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C 2

           F=  179 N

           Q= +68.0 µC= 68.0 × 10^{-6}C

           q=  +56.0 µC= 56.0 × 10^{-6}C

           r= ?

To find r, make r the subject of the formula.

F= \frac{KQq}{r²}

r²= \frac{KQq}{F}

r= \sqrt{} \frac{KQq}{F}  

Then input the values,

r  = \sqrt{} \frac{(8.98755 X 10^{9} )(68.0 X 10^{-6} )(56.0 X 10^{-6} ) }{179}

   =  \sqrt{} \frac{34224.5904 X 10^{9-12} }{179}  

  =  \sqrt{191.1988 X 10^{-3}  

  = 0.437m≈0.4m

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let that point be at a distance x from q1

Then Kq1/x^2= Kq2/ (s-x)^2

Taking square roots and simplifying, x =s /[1+(q2/q1)^0.5]

Assuming an identical distance, the rigidity of Q on 2Q is equivalent in value to the rigidity of 2Q on Q. for that reason, had the area R been stored an identical, the two forces could be equivalent. inspite of the shown fact that, via fact the area is being decreased, we could constantly consult with the equation we use to calculate those forces: F = ok(Q1xQ2)/(R^2) because R is squared and is being halved, the final result's that's it being divided by potential of a million/4. for that reason, the rigidity would be expanded by potential of four, and be 4F.
