Physics Revision Questions for Coulomb's Law
1) Two positive charges Q1 = 2.0 μC and Q2 are placed 4.0 m away from each other. As a result, a 0.008 N electrostatic force is produced between them. What is the magnitude of the charge Q2 in micro Coulombs?
- 1.8 μC
- 14.2 μC
- 3.5 μC
- 7.1 μC
Correct Answer: D
2) Three electric charges Q1 = 6 μC, Q2 = 1 μC and Q3 = 3 μC are collinear, as shown in the figure.
What is the magnitude of electrostatic force actin on Q3?
- 10-2 N
- 0.625 × 10-3 N
- 3.125 × 10-3 N
- 5.625 × 10-3 N
Correct Answer: C
3) Three electric charges are placed at the vertices of a right triangle as shown in the figure below.
What is the magnitude of resultant force acting on Q1 if the charges are: Q1 = 3 μC, Q2 = - 6 μC and Q3 = - 2 μC?
- 11.8 × 10-3 N
- 16.1 × 10-3 N
- 10.1 × 10-3 N
