the number of electrons in a copper penny is approximately 10 10^23. How large would the force be on an object if it carried this charge and were repelled by an equal charge one meter away?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.000230144 N

Explanation:

n = Number of electrons = [tex]10\times 10^{23}[/tex]

q = Charge of electron = [tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

k = Coulomb constant = [tex]8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2[/tex]

r = Distance between obects = 1 m

The force would be

[tex]F=\dfrac{nkq^2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{10\times 10^{23}\times 8.99\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.000230144[/tex]

The force would be 0.000230144 N
