As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a proton and an electron are situated 997 nm from each other and you study the forces that the particles exert on each other. As expected, the predictions of Coulomb's law are well confirmed . You find that forces are:a. Attractiveb. Repulsiveand the magnitude of force is :_______

Answer:

a.Attractive

[tex]2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

When it comes to charges, the charges which are alike repel each other and the charges which are different will attract each other.

Here, there is a proton and electron which are different particles hence, they will attract each other.

[tex]q_1=q_2[/tex] = Charge of electron and proton = [tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C[/tex]

r = Distance between them = 997 nm

k = Coulomb constant = [tex]8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2[/tex]

Force is given by

[tex]F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(997\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N[/tex]

The force of attraction between the particles will be [tex]2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N[/tex]

A skeptical physics student,

As per the question the skeptic physics student wants to test the coulombs law and for which he needs to set up the measurement in which the proton and an electron are situated 997 meters apart from each other.

As expected the predictions of the law are well confirmed and assets a force that is thus answered as Attractive.

  • The coulomb law or the reverse law is an experimental law and states that the amount of the force between the two stationary charge particles is balanced by the electrostatic force and this law is essential to the force of electromagnetics.
  • Hence the magnitude of the force is attractive.
