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."

By Coulomb's law, we will see that the force is 898.8 N, and the charges repel each other.

How to get the force between the charges?

Coulomb's law says that the force is:

[tex]F = k*\frac{q_1*q_2}{R^2}[/tex]

Where k is a constant, the q's are the charges of each particle, and R is the distance between the particles.

We have:

  • q₁ = 1 mc = 1*10^{-3} C
  • q₂ = 10 mc = 1*10^{-2} C
  • K = 8.988*10^9 (N*m^2/C^2)
  • R = 10m

Then the force is:

[tex]F = 8.988*10^9*\frac{1*10^{-3}*10^{-2}}{(10)^2} N = 898.8 N[/tex]

And because both particles have positive charge, the charges repel each other.
