PHY 102 Last Minute Prep Objective Question

Question

Two charges 1C and 3C are 1.5m apart. What is the force?
Options
A 0.25N
B 2.4×10^10 N
Correct Answer
C 7.3×10^10 N
D 5.4×10^9 N
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F = kq₁q₂/r² = (9×10^9 × 1 × 3) / (1.5)² = 2.4×10^10 N.

Hint

Use Coulomb's law: F = kq₁q₂/r².
