The force between a pair of charges is 900 newtons. The distance between the charges is 0.01 meters. If one of the charges is 2e-10 C what is the strength of the other charge ?

Answer :

Ankit

Answer:

[tex] \fbox{strength \: of \: the \: other \: charge = - 0.0196 Ke \: Coulomb}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

Force between pair of charges= 900 newtons

The distance between the charges = 0.01 meters

Strength of Charge first q1 = 2e-10 Coulomb

To find:

Strength of Charge second q2 = ____ Coulomb?

Solution:

We know that,

Force between two charges separate by distance r is given by the equation,

[tex]|F| = K_e \frac{q1 \cdot \: q2}{ {r}^{2} } \\ 900 =K_e \frac{(2e - 10)\cdot \: q2}{ {0.01}^{2} } \\ 900 \times {10}^{ - 4} = K_e {(2e - 10)\cdot \: q2} \\ q2 = \frac{9 \times {10}^{ - 2} }{(2e - 10) K_e} \\ \\ \fbox{We \: know \: that \: e = 2.71 } \\ substituting \: the \: value \: \\ q2 = \frac{9 \times {10}^{ - 2} }{(2 \times 2.71 - 10)K_e} \\ q2 = \frac{0.09}{ - 4.58 K_e} \\ q2 = \frac{-0.0196}{K_e}\: coulomb[/tex]
