16. How would the original force change if the charges were each doubled in size as well being moved to a distance <strong>that</strong> is twice theiroriginal separation? Explain.17. Which <strong>of</strong> the following combinations <strong>of</strong> changes, involving both a change in the magnitude <strong>of</strong> the charges as well as theirseparation, could produce a force <strong>that</strong> 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 <strong>that</strong> is only half <strong>of</strong> their originalseparationb) you could cut each charge in half and also move them to new positions which represent a distance <strong>that</strong> 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 <strong>that</strong> is 8times greater than their original separationd) you could double each charge and also move them to new positions which represents a distance <strong>that</strong> is only one-fourth their originalseparationjustify your choice with a calculation18. One Coulomb is actually an incredibly large amount <strong>of</strong> unbalanced charge. To see why imagine you have two Styr<strong>of</strong>oam ballsleft over from when you had to make a model <strong>of</strong> the solar system. If one coulomb <strong>of</strong> charge were placed on each ball, how far apartmust the two balls be so <strong>that</strong> the force on these two balls is only 1 N (which is not very much force, it’s the weight <strong>of</strong> a small apple).Convert your answer to miles.19. Two spheres A and B are charged so <strong>that</strong> A has twice the charge <strong>of</strong> B. The force between the two spheres is 0.5 N and they are0.60 m apart. Find the charge <strong>of</strong> A and B. (Hint: call the charge <strong>of</strong> B “Q”)20. A nucleus <strong>of</strong> uranium contains 92 protons.A) What is the charge in Coulombs <strong>of</strong> 92 protons?B) If two <strong>of</strong> these nuclei experience a force 0.22 N how far apart are they?
