There are two identical small metal spheres
with charges 22.8 µC and −16.7668 µC. The
distance between them is 6 cm. The spheres
are placed in contact then set at their original
distance.
Calculate the magnitude of the force between the two spheres at the final position. The value of the Coulomb constant
is 8.98755 × 10^9
Answer in units of N.

      The correct Answer is: -954.4N First Given that is: When in a Positive charge (q1) = 22.8 µC so that 22.8 µC = 22.8 x 10^-6C Then Negative charge (q2) = −16.7668 µC After that −16.7668 µC = −16.7668 x 10^-6C Then Distance between the charge is  (r) = 6cm It convert the centi-meters to meters 100cm = 1m 6cm = (6/100) = 0.06m When force between the two charges (F) = ? Then Recall that k is Coulomb's constant with a value of 8.98755 × 10^9 Nm2C−2             So, that apply the formula for F= (kq1q2) / r² F = (8.98755 × 10^9 Nm2C−2 x 22.8 x 10^-6C x −16.7668 x 10^-6C) /(0.06m)² F = (-3440.55 x 10^-3Nm²) / 0.0036m² F =(-3440.55 x 10^-3Nm²) / 3.6 x 10^-3m² F = -954.4N  Thus, therefore after that, the magnitude of the force between the two spheres is -954.4 Newton.
