What would the separation between two identical objects, one carrying 4 C of positive charge and the other 4 C of negative charge, have to be if the electrical force on each was precisely 8 N

7.46×10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

Applying,

F = kqq'/r² Equation 1

make r the subject of the equation

r = √(F/kqq') Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 8 N, q' = q= 4 C

Constant: k = 8.98×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 2

r = √[8/(4×4×8.98×10⁹)]

r = √(55.7×10⁻¹²)

r = 7.46×10⁻⁶ m
