Easy MCQ +4 / -1

Two point charges of $+2\,\mu C$ each are separated by 1 m in vacuum. The force between them is (take $k = 9\times 10^9$ N·m²/C²):

  1. A 0.018 N
  2. B 0.036 N Correct answer
  3. C 0.036 kN
  4. D 18 N

Solution

$F = kq_1q_2/r^2 = 9\times 10^9 \times (2\times10^{-6})^2 / 1 = 3.6\times 10^{-2}$ N.
