Question

Problem 104PP

Suppose two bees, each with a charge of 93.0 pC, are separated by a distance of 1.20 cm. Treating the bees as point charges, what is the magnitude of the electrostatic force experienced by the bees? (In comparison, the weight of a 0.140g bee is 1.37 × 10−3 N.)

A. 6.01 × 10−17 N

B. 6.48 × 10−9 N

C. 5.40 × 10−7N

D. 5.81 × 10−3N

Solution

Step 1 of 3

Here we need to calculate electrostatic force that experienced by the bees when they are separated by a distance of . The magnitude of charge on each bee is . By treating two bees as the point charges, we need to calculate the force using Coulomb's law.
