Wishing to collect weather data on a remote island, you come up with an idea for sending a weather balloon to the location. You attach a +1 C charged object to the balloon and plan to propel the balloon to the island using electrostatic force. Given the balloon's size and standard wind patterns en route, you realize you will need to be able to overcome an opposing air resistance of up to 100 N at any point on the balloon's 750 km journey to the island. a) Draw a sketch of the scenario to determine b) How big of a charge will you need at your location to propel the +1 C balloon, even in the face of opposing wind, up to a distance of 750 km away?

Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.
