Answer to Question #308640 in Physics for Mint

Question

Two protons in an atom are 1.75 m x 10 ^ -8 m from each other. Calculate

the electric force between them.

Answer 1

The Coulomb's law says

$$F=k\frac{|q_1||q_2|}{r^2}$$

$$F=9*10^9*\frac{1.6 *10 ^ {-19}*1.6 *10 ^ {-19}}{(1.75 *10 ^ {-8})^2}=7.5*10^{-13}\:\rm N$$
