Putting a piece of iron or steel inside the coil makes the magnet strong enough to attract objects. The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the number of loops of wire around the iron core and by increasing the current or voltage.

You can comfortably hold your fingers close beside a candle flame, but not very close above the flame. why? challenge (optional)

Inessa05 [86]

The candle flame releases hot gases, which directly go in upwards directions. Due to which the air near the flame of the candle is very hot and dense. The particles along with vapour move up. And since the sideways, the air is not very dense and hot, we are able to hold the candle. In anti-gravity region, there will be no density differences and also, the convection process wont occur. So, the candle quickly snuffs off.

Answer:

Approximately $5.5\; \rm N$ , assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, $q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ and $q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ .

Let $r$ denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, $r = 0.7\; \rm m$ .

Let $k$ denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, $k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .
