If two metal balls each have a charge of -10^-6 c and the repulsive force between them is 1 n, how far apart are they? (coulomb's constant is k = 9.0x 10^9 n-m^2/c^2? 9.5 m 9.0 mm 9.5 cm 0.9 m .

The distance between the charges is 9.5 cm

(c) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge

Force F = 1 N

We need to calculate the distance between the charges

Using Coulomb's formula

Where, q = charge

r = distance

F = force

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The distance between the charges is 9.5 cm

energy stored in the capacitor= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴ j

explanation:

the energy stored in the capacitor is given by

e= 1/2 c v²

e= energy stored

c= capacitance= 1.5 µc= 1.5 x 10⁻⁶f

v= potential difference=36 v

so energy stored= e= 1/2 (1.5 x 10⁻⁶) (36)²

energy stored= 9.72 x 10⁻⁴j
