If two objects each carrying a charge of 1 coulomb were placed 1 meter apart, how much force would they exert on each other? A) 9 N B) zero C) 1 N D) 9 x 10⁹N E) 10⁶N

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law: F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where k is Coulomb's constant (approximately 9 x 10^9 N m²/C²), q1 and q2 are the charges (1 C each), and r is the distance (1 m). Substituting these values gives F = 9 x 10^9 N.
