A charge Q is transferred from an initially uncharged plastic ball to an identical ball 17 cm away. The force of attraction is then 68nM .
How many electrons were transferred from one ball to the other?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.92 x 10¹² electrons

Explanation:

given,

distance between two plastic ball, r = 17 cm

                                      r = 0.17 m

Force of attraction = F = 68 mN

                F = 0.068 N

number of electron transferred from one ball to another.

using Coulomb Force equation

[tex]F = \dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]0.068 = \dfrac{9\times 10^9\times q^2}{0.17^2}[/tex]

q² = 2.1835 x 10⁻¹³

q = 4.67 x 10⁻⁷ C

now, number of electron

 [tex]N = \dfrac{q}{e}[/tex]

e is the charge of electron which is equal to 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

  [tex]N = \dfrac{4.67\times 10^{-7}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}[/tex]

       N = 2.92 x 10¹² electrons

electrons were transferred from one ball to the other is 2.92 x 10¹²

Field strength is directly proportional to the square of charge. The charge on the given plastic ball is [tex]4.67 \times 10^{-7} \rm \ C[/tex]

From Coulomb  law:

[tex]F = \dfrac {kQ^2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where,

[tex]F[/tex]- field strength = 68 mN = 0.06 N

[tex]Q[/tex]- charge

[tex]r[/tex]- distance =  17 cm =0.17 m

[tex]k[/tex]- constant = 9x10⁹

Put the values in the formula,

[tex]0.068 = \dfrac{9\times 10^9 \rimes Q^2}{0.017^2}\\\\q^2 = 2.1835 \times 10^{-13}\\\\q = 4.67 \times 10^{-7} \rm \ C[/tex]

Therefore, the charge on the given plastic ball is [tex]4.67 \times 10^{-7} \rm \ C[/tex].
