Question
If the electric force of repulsion between two $1-\mathrm{C}$ charges is $10 \mathrm{~N}$, how far apart are they?
Step 1
We know that the electric force between two charges is given by Coulomb's Law: F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where F is the force, k is Coulomb's constant (8.99 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between them. Show more…
