what type of force would 2 objects have with both a positive and negative charge with a distance of 10mm?
type of force: attractive
amount of force: ____
Coulomb's Law can be used to calculate the amount of force between two objects with both positive and negative charges. The formula for Coulomb's Law is:
F = k * |q1 * q2| / r^2
Where:
F = force between the charges
k = Coulomb's constant (8.99 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2)
q1 and q2 = magnitudes of the charges
r = distance between the charges
Given that the distance between the objects is 10mm (0.01m), and assuming the charges have the same magnitude, the force would be attractive and calculated as follows:
F = (8.99 x 10^9) * |q1 * q2| / (0.01)^2
Since the charges are both positive and negative, the signs of q1 and q2 would indicate the direction of the force. The amount of force would be determined by the magnitudes of the charges.
