Two identical particles each of mass M and charge Q are placed a certain distance apart. If they are in equilibrium
under mutual gravitational and electric force then calculate the order of Q/M in SI units.

Respuesta :

Answer:

 Q / m = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ C / kg

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the gravitational force of attraction

           

     [tex]F_g = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

the electric force

     [tex]F_e = k \frac{q1q2}{r^2}[/tex]

indicate that the two forces are equal

     G m₁ m₂ / r² = k q₁ q₂ / r²

they also say that the two masses are equal and the two charges are equal

     G m² = k Q²

     Q / m =  [tex]\sqrt{\frac{G}{k} }[/tex]

we calculate

      Q / m = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \ 10^{-11} }{8.99 \ 10^9} }[/tex]

      Q / m = [tex]\sqrt{ 0.7419 \ 10 ^{-20}}[/tex]

       Q / m = 0.861 10⁻¹⁰

       Q / m = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ C / kg
