Question

Two protons are 0.00500 m apart. Find the force between them.

Answer 1

Force,
`F=9.21* 10^(-24)\ N`

Step-by-step explanation:

Charge on proton is
`+1.6* 10^(-19)\ C`.

The electrical force between charges is given by the product of charges and divided by square of distance between them. So, electric force is :

`F=(kq^2)/(r^2)\\\\F=(9* 10^9* (1.6* 10^(-19))^2)/((0.00500 )^2)\\\\F=9.21* 10^(-24)\ N`

So, force between protons is
`9.21* 10^(-24)\ N`.
