Question

If two charged objects in a laboratory are brought to a distance of 0.22 meters away from each other. What is

Answer 1

Answer:

$q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$

Explanation:

The charge on one object, $q_1=9.9\times 10^{-5}\ C$

The distance between the charges, r = 0.22 m

The force between the charges, F = 4,550 N

Let q₂ is the charge on the other sphere. The electrostatic force between two charges is given by the formula as follows :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{kq_1}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{4550\times (0.22) ^2}{9\times 10^9\times 9.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$

So, the charge on the other sphere is $2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$.
