Use Coulomb's law that describes force between static electrically charged particles. In its scalar form the law is:
That is a large force, it should give you an idea how large a coulomb really is. It's a huge amount of charge
Explanation:
Use Coulomb's law that describes force between static electrically charged particles. In its scalar form the law is:
Now substituting the given charges and distance of separation:
That is a large force, it should give you an idea how large a coulomb really is. It's a huge amount of charge
