Two electrons in an atom are separated by 1.5 ✕ 10-10 m, the typical size of an atom. what is the electric force between them?
Answer:The electric force between them is \(1.024\times 10^{-17} N\).
Explanation:
Charge on an electron = \(q_1=q_2=-1.6\times 10^{-19} C\)
Distance between the two electrons = \(r=1.5\times 10^{-10} m\)
The Electric force between two electrons is given by :
\(F_e=k\times \frac{q_1\times q_2}{r^2}\)
\(F_e=9\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\times \frac{-1.6\times 10^{-19} C\times -1.6\times 10^{-19} C}{(1.5\times 10^{-10} m)^2}=1.024\times 10^{-17} N\)
The electric force between them is \(1.024\times 10^{-17} N\).
The electric force between the two electrons is 1.024×10¯⁸ N
F = Kq₁q₂ / r²
F = (9×10⁹ × 1.6×10¯¹⁹ × 1.6×10¯¹⁹) / (1.5×10¯¹⁰)²
F = 1.024×10¯⁸ N
Thus, the force between them is 1.024×10¯⁸ N
