Coulomb's Law
Given:
F = 3.0 x 10^-3 Newton
d = 6.0 x 10^2 meters
Q1 = 3.3x 10^-8 Coulombs
k = 9.0 x 10^9 Newton*m^2/Coulombs^2
Required:
Q2 =?
Formula:
F = k • Q1 • Q2 / d²
Solution:
So, to solve for Q2
Q2 = F • d²/ k • Q1
Q2 = (3.0 x 10^-3 Newton) • (6.0 x 10^2 m)² / (9.0 x 10^9
Newton*m²/Coulombs²) • (3.3x 10^-8 Coulombs)
Q2 = (3.0 x 10^-3 Newton) • (360 000 m²) / (297 Newton*m²/Coulombs)
Q2 = 1080 Newton*m²/ (297 Newton*m²/Coulombs)
Then, take the reciprocal of the denominator and start
multiplying
Q2 = 1080 • 1 Coulombs/297
Q2 = 1080 Coulombs / 297
Q2 = 3.63636363636 Coulombs
Q2 = 3.64 Coulumbs
