How will the forces between two charged particles compare when one particle has ten times as much charge as the other? Defend your answer.
To compare: The force between two charged particles, when one particle has ten times as much charge as the other.
Answer to Problem 29A
The force is 10 times stronger then, the force between two equal charges
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Two charged particles, one particle has charge ten times to other .
Formula used:
The force is given as,
Here, q1and q2are charges of two particles.
r is the distance between the two.
Calculation:
Let q1= q and q2= 10q
Then the force
Conclusion:
The force is 10 times stronger then, the force between two equal charges .
