Two polystyrene balls, one has a charge twice the amount than the other..find charges
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Two balls of polystyrene foam are about 4 cm from each other and repel with an electric force of 0.2 N. Find the values of the two charges knowing that one of the balls has a charge that is twice the other. 2. Relevant equations F= (kq1q2)/r2 3. The attempt at a solution F= (k·Q·2Q)/r2 0,2 = ( 9x109·2Q2 ) / (0,04)2 Q= +1,77 x 10-14 AND its wrong! The right answers should be : (+or-)188nC, (+or-)267nC |
