Two positive charges of 1 mC and 10 mC are separated by a distance of 10 m. Find the

direction and the magnitude of electrostatic force between the charges. |Describe the

direction in terms of the charges attract each other," or "the charges repel each other."

mili C=1043 C

Answer:

900N, charges repel

Explanation:

F = KQq/d²

K = 9 × 10^9Nm²/C²

Q= 10mC = 10 × 10^-3C

q = 1mc = 1 × 10^-3C

d = 10m

F = ?

Force = (9 × 10^9 × 10 × 10^-3 × 1 × 10^-3)/10²

= 9 × 10²

= 900N

It will be an electrostatic force of repulsion since like charges(two positive charges) repel

The magnitude and the direction of the electrostatic force between the charges will be 900N and the charges will repel each other.

What is Coulomb's law of forces?

Coulomb's law states that whenever the two charged particles are separated by a particular distance then there will be a force of attraction or repulsion acts between the charge.

The formula of coulomb's force will be given by

[tex]F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

[tex]K=9\times 10^9\ \frac{Nm^2}{C^2}[/tex]

[tex]q_1= 10\times 10^{-3}\ C[/tex]

[tex]q_2=1\times 10^{-3}\ C[/tex]

[tex]\rm Distance \ d=10 \ m[/tex]

Now the force will be calculated as

[tex]F=(9\times 10^9)\dfrac{(10\times 10^{-3})\times (1\times 10^{-3})}{10}[/tex]

[tex]F= 900\ N[/tex]

The charges are positive in nature so they will repel each other

Hence the magnitude and the direction of the electrostatic force between the charges will be 900N and the charges will repel each other.
