Question

Find the force between a 3 C charge and a 2 C charge separated by a distance of 3 meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

Force, $F=6\times 10^9\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=3\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=2\ C$

Distance between charges, d = 3 m

We need to find the force between charges. The electric force between charges is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

k is electrostatic constant

$F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 3\times 2}{(3)^2}\\\\F=6\times 10^9\ N$

So, the force between charges is $6\times 10^9\ N$. Hence, this is the required solution.
