Question

Two obiect accumulated a charge of

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 181.24 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of hte electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by the equation

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

In this problem, we have:

$q_1=4.5\mu C=4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is the magnitude of the 1st charge

$q_2=2.8\mu C=2.8\cdot 10^{-6}C$ is the magnitude of the 2nd charge

r = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m is the separation between the charges

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric force is:

$F=\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6})(2.8\cdot 10^{-6})}{(0.025)^2}=181.44 N$

So, the closest answer is

A) 181.24 N
