CHAPTER 1: Coulomb’s Law

ASSIGNMENT 1: Net Electric Force and Point Charges

1. A +10µC point charge is 25cm away from a -20µC point charge. Calculate the
magnitude of the electric force between them.

2. The electric force between two-point charges with a magnitude of +800nC and
+900nC is 15N. How far apart are the two charges from each other in centimeters?

3. A force of 500N exists between two identical point charges separated by a distance
of 50cm. Calculate the magnitude of the two-point charges.

4. How many electrons represents a charge of -70µC?

5. What is the electric charge in µC of 5x1014 protons?

6. A metal sphere has 4.3 x 1021 protons and 6.8 x 1021 electrons. What is the net
electric charge on this metal sphere?

7. A +100µC charge is placed at the origin. A -50µC charge is placed at x=2m and a
+200µC is placed at x=-4m.
a) What is the net electric force acting on the +100µC charge?
b) What is the net electric force acting on the +200µC charge?

8. Two balloons with charges of +3.37 µC and -8.21 µC attract each other with a force
of -0.0626 Newton. Determine the separation distance between the two balloons.

9. Suppose that two-point charges, each with a charge of +1.00 Coulomb are
separated by a distance of 1.00 meter. Determine the magnitude of the electrical
force of repulsion between them.

10. Three-point charges X, Y and Z are fixed along a straight line as shown. Find, in
terms of q, r and εo the force on the charge (a) X and (b) Y.
