Two pellets, each with a charge of 1 microcoulomb (10-6 c, are located 6 cm apart. (a what is the electric force between them?

Respuesta :

Given two charges, [tex] Q_{1}[/tex] and [tex]Q_{2}[/tex], we can calculate for the electric force with 

[tex] Force = \frac {k Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

with k as the Coloumb constant and r as the distance given to be 3 cm or 0.03 m. Plugging this in, we have

[tex]F = \frac{(9.0 x 10^{9})(10^{-6})(10^{-6})}{0.03^{2}}[/tex]

Thus, we have F = 10 N.
 
Answer: 10N
