two electrical charges 200 muC and 400 muC are placed 5 metres apart in a vacuum. Calculate the electrostatic force between them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

muC is simply \(\mu C\) which is \(10^{-6}\) of a Coulumb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just plug-in the given in Coulumb's Law formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do you have to convert \[muC \] to C before using?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can also include to the formula such as 1 muC=1(10)^(-6)C...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[F=\frac{200\times10^{-6}\times400\times10^{-6}}{4\pi\epsilon_0\times d^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops d=5 m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer \[3.56\times10^{-19}N ?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k=\[9.0\times10^{9}Nm\]
