Charge and Coulombs Law (Two Charges)
1. How many electrons are needed to make up 25 C of charge?
(1.6 x 1020 electrons)
2. How many coulombs of charge do 1.88 x 1019 electrons have?
(3.01 C)
3. How many electrons must be removed from a small pith ball to give it a charge of 1.0 x 10-12 C? (6.3 x
106)
4. How many excess electrons are on a ball with a charge of 2.04 x 10-17 C?
(128 )
5. Two charges, q1 and q2, are separated by a distance, d, and exert a force, F, on each other. What new
force will exist if:
a) q2 is doubled?
b) d is tripled?
c) q1 is halved and q2 is tripled?
d) q2 is doubled and d is tripled?
e) q1 is halved, q2 is one-fourth its original value and d is one-fourth its original value?
6.

A positive charge of 1.8 x 10-6 C and a negative charge of 1.0 x 10-6 C are
0.040 m apart. What is the magnitude of the force between the two charges?
(10 N).

7. A negative charge of 4.0 x 10-6 C exerts a force of repulsion of 7.2 N on a second charge. The charges
are separated by 0.050 m. What is the sign and magnitude of the second charge? (-5.0 x 10-7 C)
8. How far apart are two charges of 1.0 C and 1.0 C if they exert a force of attraction of 440 N on each
other? (4.5 x 10-3 m)
9. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by the proton in a hydrogen atom on the electron
that orbits the nucleus when the electron is
5.3 x 10-11 m from the proton? (8.2 x 10-8 N)
10. How far apart are two electrons if they exert a force of repulsion of 1.80 x 10-10 N on each other? (1.13
x 10-9 m)
11. At what separation distance do two point charges of 2.0 C and 3.0 C exert a force of attraction on
each other of 565 N? (9.8 x 10-3 m)
12. A distance of 0.64 m separates two neutral spheres. If 2.0 x 1013 electrons are removed from one sphere
and placed on the other, what is the magnitude of the force that exists between the spheres? (0.23 N)
13. Two spheres, one with three times the charge of the other, are located 24 cm apart and exert a repulsive
force of 72 N on each other. What is the magnitude of the charge of the sphere with more charge? (3.7
