What you can use is coulomb's inverse square law that states that force varies inversly as the square of distance.  <span>It menas that the force is calculated by dividing by distance squared. what this does is essentially as the distance doubles, the forces is reduced by a factor of 4 or can be divided by 4. Force at 0.5m=2.3328N. And brings you ti the answer</span>

Answer:

New force, F' = 2.33 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

A physicist found that a force of 0.72 N was measured between two charged sphere.

The distance between the spheres was, d = 0.9 m

We have to find the force between the two sphere when the distance was decreased to d' = 0.5 m

The force acting between two charged particles is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

i.e. F is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the charges. Let F' is the force when distance is decreased.

So, \dfrac{F}{F'}=(\dfrac{d'}{d})^2

\dfrac{0.72}{F'}=(\dfrac{0.5}{0.9})^2

On solving, we get : F' = 2.33 N

Hence, on decreasing distance the force between the charges increases.

Two positive charges are equal. Which has more electric potential energy?
Xelga [282]

Electrostatic potential energy of a system of charge is given by

U = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r}

here we have

q_1,q_2 = two charges of different magnitudes

r = distance between charges

so here we can see that electrostatic potential energy will depends upon the product of two charges and inversely depends upon the distance between the two charges

So here we can say that the electrostatic potential energy of two charges will be same and equal to each other

Generate description of the right hand rule for finding the magnetic field around a current carrying wire an tell how it is used
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Right hand thumb rule : It is a rule used to find the magnetic field direction around current carrying wire .

Explanation:

It states that : "If you grasp conductor in your right hand such that thumb points in upward direction ,then the direction in which our finger curls gives the direction of magnetic field or magnetic lines of forces" .

This rule proves that :Current can give rise to magnetism .

Around every current carrying conductor there exist a magnetic field which can be easily felt .

According to this rule : When a current flows in upward direction ,the finger curls in anticlockwise direction and when direction of current reverses ,then the direction of field also reverses .
