Question

Remember, e = 1.6 x 10-19 C, 1 pm (picometer) = 10-12 m.

 

Set up one charge with q = -2e and the other with q = +4e and place them 20 pm apart. Determine the force between the charges using Coulomb’s Law and compare to the answer given in the simulation. 

 

 

Please note that only the magnitude of the forces are given in the simulation. The negative and positive values you get in your calculation only reflects that the force
between the charges is either attractive or repulsive. You will therefore be comparing magnitudes for this question.
Coulomb's Law:
92
Like charges repel
Unlike charges attract

F=
Use Coulomb's Constant; k = 9 x 109 N m2/c2
