Homework SourseA proton and electron are separated by 35 nm a What is the m
A proton and electron are separated by 3.5 nm.
(a) What is the magnitude of the force on the electron?
(b) What is the magnitude of the force on the proton?
Solution
Apply F = kqq/r2
The answer will be the same for both parts....
F = (9 X 109)(1.6 X 10-19)2/(3.5 X 10-9)2
F = 1.88 X 10-11 N
