Each of two very long, straight rods carry opposite charges of 2.0x10^-6 C per meter. These rods are parallel to each other and separated 10 cm. Find the force (magnitude and direction) between them (use L >> r and assume uniform force per unit length. Can you use the simple equation F=QE ?). Would you be able to feel this force if the rods are 1 meter long?

Question

Each of two very long, straight rods carry opposite charges of 2.0x10^-6 C per
meter. These rods are parallel to each other and separated 10 cm. Find the force
(magnitude and direction) between them (use L >> r and assume uniform force
per unit length. Can you use the simple equation F=QE ?). Would you be able to
feel this force if the rods are 1 meter long?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that:λ1=2.0×10-6 C/mλ2=-2.0×10-6 C/md=10 cm=0.10 m1) To determine the force per unit length2)Can we feel the force if the rods are 1 m long.
