Question

Two point charges q1 and q2 are 3.20 m apart, and their total charge is 17 µC. Note that you may need to solve a quadratic equation to reach your answer. a) If the force of repulsion between them is 0.058 N, what are the two charges (in µC)? b) If one charge attracts the other with a force of 0.270 N, what are the two charges (in µC)?

Step 1

058 N. Given: Distance between charges, r = 3.20 m Total charge, Q = 17 µC Force of repulsion, F = 0.058 N Using Coulomb's law: F = k * |Q1 * Q2| / r^2 where k is the electrostatic constant. We have: F = k * |Q1 * Q2| / r^2 0.058 = k * |Q1 * Q2| / (3.20)^2 0.058 Show more…
