Problems
1.How many electrons make up a charge of -30.0 mC?
- Since electrons have charges of –1.6E-19 C all we need to do is divide the given charge by the electron charge to give us the number of electrons. Also, be careful with the whole mili-coulombs thing.
- -30 mC / 1.602E-19 C = 1.88 E14 electrons

3. Two charged balls are 20.0 cm they are moved, and the force on each of them is found to have tripled. How far apart are they now?
- Solving this problem is nice, because in this case while we use the formula F = kq1q2/r2 we can ignore both charges and the variables F and k. Since the resulting force is tripled, we know that the radius of the new situation will be 1/3 of the original value of r2. To start this problem, we need to set two equations equal to one another. This works because but cutting the original value of r2 by 1/3, the two equations will be equal and we can then solve for r in the new situation.
- F = kq1q2/r2
- kq1q2/r2 = kq1q2/r2
- Remove unnecessary variables and set equations equal by multiplying r2 by 1/3 in equation 1.
- 1 / ((1/3)* 202) = 1 / r2
- (1/3) * (202) = r2
- r = .012 m or 11.5 cm
