Two positive charges of 10 C are separated by 12 meters. What is the force between the charges?

Sagot :

In order to calculate the force between the charges, we can use the formula below:

[tex]F=K\cdot\frac{q_1\cdot q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

Where F is the force (in Newtons), K is the Coulomb constant (K = 9 * 10^9), q1 and q2 are the charges (in Coulombs) and d is the distance between them (in meters).

So, for q1 = q2 = 10 C and d = 12 m, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=9\cdot10^9\cdot\frac{10\cdot10}{12^2} \\ F=\frac{900\cdot10^9}{144} \\ F=6.25\cdot10^9\text{ N} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the force between the charges is 6.25 * 10^9 N.
