Measurements show that a honeybee in active flight can acquirean electrostatic charge as great as 93.0 pC. (a) How many electrons must be transferred toproduce this charge?
____________?

(b) Suppose two bees, each with a charge of 93.0 pC, are separatedby a distance of 1.11 cm. Treating thebees as point charges, find the magnitude of the electrostaticforce experienced by the bees.
____________? N
Compare the force to the weight of a 0.160 g bee.
force / weight = ___________? Some explanation would be helpful. Thank you forhelping!

Explanation / Answer

(a). charge q = 93 * 10 ^-12 C we know charge q = N e From this No.of electrons N = q / e where e = charge of electron = 1.6 * 10 ^ -19C plug the values   N = 58.125 * 10 ^ 7 (b). separation r = 1.11 cm = 1.11 * 10 ^ -2 m magnitude of electro static force F = K q^ 2 / r ^2 where K = coulomb's constant = 8.99 * 10 ^ 9 N m ^2 / C ^ 2 pulg the values   F = [ 8.99 * 10 ^ 9 ] [93 * 10 ^-12 ] ^ 2 / [ 1.11 * 10 ^ -2 m ] ^ 2                            = 6.31 * 10 ^ -3 N
