Object A and object B are initially uncharged and are separated by a distance of 1 meter. Suppose 10,000 electrons are removed f

rom object A and placed on object B, creating an attractive force between A and B. An additional 10,000 electrons are removed from A and placed on B and the objects are moved so that the distance between them increases to 2 meters. By what factor does the electric force between them change?

Answer:

1

Explanation:

Let's call the magnitude of the charge of 10000 electrons q.

Because A loses q, it has a net charge +q (electrons are negative; losing them creates positive charges). Conversely, B has gained q, so it has a charge of -q. The distance between them is 1 m.

By Coulomb's law, the force between them is

F_1 = \dfrac{kq \times q}{1^2}

F_1 = kq^2

When A loses an additional 10000 electrons, the charge on it becomes +2q while that on B is -2q. The distance is now 2 m.

The force is now

F_2 = \dfrac{k\times2q \times 2q}{2^2}

F_2 = \dfrac{4kq^2}{4}

F_2 = kq^2 = F_1

\dfrac{F_2}{F_1}=1

Marysya12 [62]
We can find the force by using the following formula;
N = ma +  mg
Fa = ma = 76 x 1.2 = 91.2
Fg = mg = 76 x 9.8 = 744.8
N = 91.2 + 744.8 = 836
So, the force is 836 N.
