Answer:
Electric force, [tex]F=1.29\times 10^6\ N[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
Charge 1, [tex]q_1=24\ C[/tex]
Charge 2, [tex]q_2=-24\ C[/tex]
Distance between charges, d = 2 km
The electric force is given by :
[tex]F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}[/tex]
k is the electrostatic constant
[tex]F=8.98755\times 10^9\times \dfrac{(24)^2}{(2\times 10^3)^2}[/tex]
F = 1294207.2 N
or
[tex]F=1.29\times 10^6\ N[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
