Refer to the following information for the next ten questions.Two charges, a +3x10-5C charge and a -6x10-5 C charge, are 2 meters apart.9. What is the magnitude of the original electrostatic force between them? Show all work below.10. Is it an attractive or repulsive force? ________11. How could you change the situation to reverse your answer to #10 ? _______________________________12. How would the original force change if the charges were moved twice as far apart? ___________________Calculate the force below.13. How would the original force change if the charges were moved towards each other to a final distance which equals half of theiroriginal separation? _______________Calculate the force below.14. How would the original force change if the charges were each doubled in size? _________________Calculate the force below.15. How would the original force change if each of the charges were to be cut in half? ________________Calculate the force below.
16. How would the original force change if the charges were each doubled in size as well being moved to a distance that is twice theiroriginal separation? Explain.17. Which of the following combinations of changes, involving both a change in the magnitude of the charges as well as theirseparation, could produce a force that is 64 times stronger than the original force between them?a) you could quadruple each charge and also move them to new positions which represent a distance that is only half of their originalseparationb) you could cut each charge in half and also move them to new positions which represent a distance that is 16 times greater than theiroriginal separationc) you could double one charge, quadruple the second charge and move them to new positions which represent a distance that is 8times greater than their original separationd) you could double each charge and also move them to new positions which represents a distance that is only one-fourth their originalseparationjustify your choice with a calculation18. One Coulomb is actually an incredibly large amount of unbalanced charge. To see why imagine you have two Styrofoam ballsleft over from when you had to make a model of the solar system. If one coulomb of charge were placed on each ball, how far apartmust the two balls be so that the force on these two balls is only 1 N (which is not very much force, it’s the weight of a small apple).Convert your answer to miles.19. Two spheres A and B are charged so that A has twice the charge of B. The force between the two spheres is 0.5 N and they are0.60 m apart. Find the charge of A and B. (Hint: call the charge of B “Q”)20. A nucleus of uranium contains 92 protons.A) What is the charge in Coulombs of 92 protons?B) If two of these nuclei experience a force 0.22 N how far apart are they?
