A 7.52nC charge is located 1.65m from a 4.10nC point charge.a) Find the magnitude of the force that the -2.5 nC charge exerts on the -8.0 nC charge.b) Is the force attractive or repulsive?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a. [tex]1.019 \times 10^{-7} N[/tex]

b. Repulsive force

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The magnitude of the force is

Given that

Charge = 7.52nc

Location = 1.65m

Point charge = 4.10nC

Based on the above information,

As we know that

[tex]F= \frac{kqQ}{r^2} \\\\= \frac{9\times10^{9} \times 7.52 \times 10^{-9} \times 4.1 \times 10^{-9}}{1.652} \\\\= 1.019 \times 10^{-7} N[/tex]

b. Now as it can be seen that both contains the positive charges so this represents the repulsive force and the same is to be considered
