Answer:
2.4 x 10⁻³C
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance = 389.66m
Q₁ = 3.371C
Electrical force = 479.66N
Unknown:
Q₂ = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use the expression below:
F = [tex]\frac{k Q_{1} Q_{2} }{r^{2} }[/tex]
F is the electrical force
k is the coulomb's constant = 9 x 10⁹
Q is the charge
r is the distance
479.66 = [tex]\frac{9 x 10^{9} x 3.371 x Q_{2} }{389.66^{2} }[/tex]
Q₂ = 2.4 x 10⁻³C
