Answer to Question #308400 in Electricity and Magnetism for joyce

Question

two charged particle q1=10uC and q2=20uC are separated by distance r=15cm.what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force with solution.

Answer 1

The Coulomb's law says

$$F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$$ $$F_1=9*10^9*\frac{10*10^{-6}*20*10^{-6}}{(0.15)^2}=80\:\rm N$$
