Anna rubs two balloons against her hair causing the ballons to become negatively charged. Each of the balloons has a charge of 2.4*10^-6 Coulombs. She holds them a distance of 0.06 meters apart. what is the magnitude electrical force between the balloons?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The magnitude electrical force between the balloons is 14.4 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge on each balloons, [tex]q_1=q_2=2.4\times 10^{-6}\ C[/tex]

Distance between charged balloons, d = 0.06 m

We need to find the magnitude electrical force between the balloons. We know that two charged particle possess electrical force when placed at a certain distance. The force is given by :

[tex]F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

k is the electrostatic constant

[tex]F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{(2.4\times 10^{-6})^2}{(0.06)^2}\\\\F=14.4\ N[/tex]

So, the magnitude electrical force between the balloons is 14.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
