Coulomb’s Law

Direction: Analyze the following problems. Indicate the given, show your solutions, and don’t forget to
indicate the desired unit. Place your solution after the given problem.

1. Three charges, Q1 = 5µC, Q2 = 4µC and Q3 = 6µC are lying along a straight line. Q1 is 1m away
from Q2 and Q2 is 1m away from Q3. Find the net electric force on Q1.

2. The electric force between two identical charges, Q=12µC, is 20N. Find the distance between
them.
3. The distance between two-point charges is 60mm. the repulsive force between them is 2 x 10 9
N. Point charge, Q1-20µC. What is the charge of the other point charge, Q2?
