Answer:
The distance between charges is 0.33 m.
Explanation:
We have,
The charge on each sphere is [tex]2.5\times 10^{-6}\ C[/tex]
Force between charges is 0.5 N
It is required to find the distance between spheres. The force between two charges is called electrical force. The force between them is given by :
[tex]F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}[/tex]
r is distance between charges
[tex]r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq^2}{F}} \\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (2.5\times 10^{-6})^2}{0.5}} \\\\r=0.33\ m[/tex]
So, the distance between charges is 0.33 m.
