Answer:
d = 286809.88 m
Distance can be found on one of the following coordinates which is given below
(d,0), (0,d), (-d,0), (0,-d)
Explanation:
As the electron and charge (q) are negatively charged they will repulsive
Let F(Force)= W (Weight of electron)
where:
Force (F) between the charges = kq₁q₂/d²
Weight of electron = mg
So:
F=W
kq₁q₂/d² = mg.....eq(i)
Where
mass of electron(m) = 9.11x10⁻³¹ kg
k = 9x10⁹ Nm²/C²
q₂ (charge of electron) = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C
d =?
put values in eq(i) we get
{(9x10⁹Nm²/C²)(0.51nC)(1.6x10⁻¹⁹C)}/d^2 = (9.11x10⁻³¹ kg
)(9.8 m/s²)
d² = 8.226x10¹⁰ m²
d =√(8.226x10¹⁰ m²)
d = 286809.88 m
Distance can be found on one of the following coordinates which is given below
(d,0), (0,d), (-d,0), (0,-d)
