4 . A negative charge -0.450 exerts an upward 0.150N force on an unknown charge 0.250m directly below it . ( a ) what is the unknown charge ( magnitude and sign ) ? ( b ) what are the magnitude and direction of the force that the unknown charge exert charge exerts on the -0.450 charge ?​

Sagot :

(a) The unknown charge kept at distance 0.250m directly below  -0.450 charge is  2.315 x 10⁻¹² C.

(b) The magnitude of the force is 29.16 x 10¹² N.

What is electrostatic force?

The electrostatic force F between two charged objects placed distance apart is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where k = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

Given is a negative charge -0.450 exerts an upward 0.150N force on an unknown charge 0.250m directly below it .

In equation of the magnitude of force, only the magnitude of charges are taken.

Substituting the values into the expression ,we get the charge

0.150 = (9 x 10⁹ x 0.450x q)/ (0.25)²

q = 2.315 x 10⁻¹² C

Thus, the magnitude of the unknown charge is 2.315 x 10⁻¹² C.

b)Let the unknown charge be  0.450C to exert on -450C.

Substituting the values into the expression ,we get the electrostatic force

F = kq₁q₂/r²

F = (9 x 10⁹ x 0.450x 0.450)/ (0.25)²

q = 2.315 x 10⁻¹² C

Thus, the magnitude of the force is 29.16 x 10¹² N.
