A small cork with an excess charge of +5.0 µC is placed 0.13 m from another cork, which carries a charge of −3.2 µC. What is the magnitude of the electric force between the corks? The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C 2 . Answer in units of N.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Charge on first cork [tex]q_1=5\ mu C[/tex]

Placed at [tex]r=0.13\ m[/tex] from another cork

Charge on second cork [tex]q_2=-3.2\ \mu C[/tex]

As two charges are opposite in nature therefore they will experience an attractive force

[tex]F_{12}=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]F_{12}=\frac{8.987\times 10^9\times 5\times 3.2\times 10^{-12}}{(0.13)^2}[/tex]

[tex]F_{12}=\frac{143.8\times 10^{-3}}{1.69\times 10^{-2}}[/tex]

[tex]F_{12}=8.508\ N[/tex]
