CHAPTER ONE ELECTRIC CHARGES AND FIELDS

EXERCISES

(For simplicity in numerical calculations, take g = 10 m s-2)

1.1 What is the force between two small charged spheres having
charges of 2 × 10–7C and 3 × 10–7C placed 30 cm apart in air?

1. q1 = 2 × 10−7 C ; q 2 = 3 × 10−7 C ; r = 30cm = 0.30m

Key Idea

1 q1q 2
F=
4πε0 r2

Solution

9 ×109 × 2 ×10−7 × 3 ×10−7

F= 2
= 6 ×10−3 N
( 0.30 )

Answer

A repulsive force of 6 × 10 −3 N between the charges.
