Question

For #3 and #4, use the figure at the right which represents two point charges Q-(36x 10 e and Q- (78 x 10)e, which are separated by a distance of 22.6 nm. Note: e is the fundamental electric charge.

Explanation / Answer

6. F = k |Q1||Q2| / d^2

F = (9 x 10^9)(36 x 10^8 x 1.6 x 10^-19)(78 x 10^8 x 1.6 x10^-19) / (22.6 x 10^-9)^2


F = 1.27 x 10^7 N

both are of same sign charge hence Q1 will repel Q2 away.

direction -> to the right

Ans: (c)


8. zero field point will be inbetween the charges.

E = k(Q1)/d^2 - k (Q2)/ (22.6 - d)^2 = 0

(36)/d^2 = 78 / (22.6 - d)^2

(22.6 - d ) / d = sqrt(78/36) = 1.472

d = 9.14 nm

Ans(d) 9.14 nm right of q1.
