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, you can use Coulomb's Law. The formula is:
F = k * (|q1| * |q2|) / r^2
Where:
F is the magnitude of the electrostatic force
k is the electrostatic constant, which has a value of approximately 9 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2
|q1| and |q2| are the magnitudes of the two negative charges
r is the distance between the charges in meters (1 augustro in this case)
To calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force, simply substitute the given values into the formula:
F = (9 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2) * (|q1| * |q2|) / (1 augustro)^2
Note that you need to convert 1 augustro to meters to ensure consistent units.
b) It seems that you are asking for the magnitude of the gravitational force between the negative charges. However, the gravitational force only acts between masses, not charges. So, it is not applicable in this situation.
c) Since the gravitational force is not applicable in this scenario, you cannot determine the ratio of the gravitational force and the electrostatic force.
