Question

the magnitude of the electrical force acting between a +2.4x10-8c charge and 1+1.8x10-6 charge that are separated by 1.008m is

Answer 1

Answer:

3.83×10¯⁴ N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = +2.4x10¯⁸ C

Charge 2 (q₂) = +1.8x10¯⁶ C

Distance apart (r) = 1.008 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Force (F) =?

The magnitude of the electrical force acting between the two charges can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.4x10¯⁸ × 1.8x10¯⁶ / (1.008)²

F = 0.0003888 / 1.016064

F = 3.83×10¯⁴ N

Thus the magnitude of the electrical force acting between the two charges is 3.83×10¯⁴ N
