1. The average weight of a common person is around 65 kg.

If two common persons

have a 1C charge each, one positive and the other negative, which should be the

distance between them such that the force of electric attraction between them is

equal to their weight, 700N?

Formula:

r= √ ( k*q1 *q2÷ F)=

k= 8.987551787*109

q1= 1C

q2= 1C

F= 700N

√ 8.987551787*109 *1C*1C÷700= 3583.20522656 m

2. Two small spheres separated by a distance of 0.3m have similar charges. How

many exceeding electrons must be in each sphere if the magnitude of the repulsive

force between them is of 5.5x10-21N?

Formula:

d: 0.3 (r 2)(F)/1C= 5.5x10 -32 2.345x10 -16/1.6x 10

F: 5.5x10 N q= 5𝑥10 − 52 q1q2= 5.5x10 -32 −215.

3. Two point charges are placed over the x-axis as follows: charge q1=+3nC is at

x=0.26m, and charge q2=+6nC is at x=-0.45m. Find the magnitude and direction

of the total force exerted by these two charges over a negative point charge

q3=-8nC that is at x=0m.

.-
Formula:

d: q1=+3nC is at x=0.26m, q2=+6nC is at x=-0.45m, q3=-8nC that is at x=0m

F₁₃ = k q₁ q₃ / r₁₃²

F₂₃ = k q₂ q₃ / r₂₃²

F = k q₃ (q₁ / r₁₃² + q₂ / r₂₃²)

F = 9 10⁹ 8 10⁻⁹ (3 10⁻⁹ / (0.26 - 0) 2 + 6 10⁻⁹ / (0.45-0) 2)

F = 72 (44,379 + 29,630) 10⁻⁹

F = 5.33 10⁻⁶ N

Answer: F = 5.33 10⁻⁶ N , directed to the left.

4. Three point charges, q1=+7x10-6C, q2=-7x10-6C and q3=+3x10-6C, are placed

on the corners of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 80 mm. Find the

magnitude and direction of the net force over charge q1=+7x10-6C.

Formula: q1=+7x10-6C isx=.08m, q3=+3x10-6C is x=.08m, q1=+7x10-6C is x=.08m

F12=9*10^(9)C ((7*10^(-6)C)(-7*10^(-6)C))/((.08m)^(2)=68.9N

F13=9*10^(9)C ((7*10^(-6)C)(3*10^(-6)C))/((.08m)^(2))= 29.53N

q2= magnitude second charge (C)

k e= Columbus’ constant= 8.98755*10^9 N*m^2/C^2

Answer: 0.00001886923 C or 18869.23 nC

6. Two point charges are attracted from each other with a force of 6kN. If the

distance between them is reduced to one fourth of its original value, determine the

new force of attraction between them.

Formula:

F= 6kN= 6000 N D: r/4 F= k(q1q2/𝑟 )

F2= ? D: r F2=k(q1q2/(r/4) )=k(q1q2/ /16) = 16 k(q1q2/ 2

7. A charge q1=+6μC is 0.06m at the right of a charge q2=-9μC. Find the FN over

charge q3=-1.9μC that is 0.03m at the right of charge q2?

Formula:

F1= k(q1q2/r2)=k(q2q3/r2)

F1=9*10 (-9* /0.0 /0.0009) 9

10−2

= 9 * 10 9

(1. 71 *10−11

F1=(9*10)*(19*10)=171 N

F2= k(q1q2/r2)=k(q3q1/r2)

F29*10(-1.9*10*6*10/0.03)=9*10(-1.14*10/0.0009)

Answer:

F2=(9*10)-12*10)=-114N

FN=f1+f2=171-114=57N
