a) Find the magnitude of the
electrostatic force between 2
negative charges separated by a
distance of 1augustro.
b)what is the magnitude of gravit'l
force between the negetive charges
(electro)?
c) determine the ratio of the gravt'l
force and electrostatic force.
(Help with even the formulae!)
a) To find the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two negative charges separated by a distance, we can use Coulomb's Law. Coulomb's Law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The formula for the magnitude of the electrostatic force is:
F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2
Where:
- F is the magnitude of the electrostatic force
- k is Coulomb's constant (k ≈ 9 x 10^9 N·m^2/C^2)
- q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges
- r is the distance between the charges
In this case, since both charges are negative, their magnitudes are the same. Let's call this magnitude q.
So, the formula becomes:
F = k * (q * q) / r^2
Given that the distance between the charges is 1augustro, we can substitute the values into the formula to calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force.
b) However, it seems there might be a typo in your question. You mentioned "negetive charges (electro)". I assume you meant the gravitational force between the two negative charges.
The gravitational force between two charges is negligibly small compared to the electrostatic force. Hence, we can consider it to be zero in this case. However, if you meant to ask about the gravitational force between two masses, please provide the necessary information.
c) The ratio of the gravitational force to the electrostatic force can be determined by dividing the magnitude of the gravitational force by the magnitude of the electrostatic force. Since the gravitational force is considered negligible in this scenario, the ratio would be zero.
Please note that without the given values of the charges or masses involved, precise numerical answers cannot be provided.
