Question

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a proton and an electron are situated 865 nm from each other and you study the forces that the particles exert on each other. As expected, the predictions of Coulomb's law are well confirmed. You find that the forces are attractive and the magnitude of each force is:______

Answer 1

Answer:

force F = 1.66 × $10^{-13}$ N

Explanation:

given data

proton and an electron = 865 nm

solution

we get here force that is express as

force F = k q1 q2 ÷ r²      ......................1

put here value and we get

force F = 9 × $10^{9}$ × $\frac{1.6\times (10^{-19})^{2}}{865 \times (10^{-9})^{2}}$    

force F = 1.66 × $10^{-13}$ N
