Two charges attract each other with a force of 1.4 N. What will be the force if the distance between them is reduced to one-ninth of its original value?

  1. 1.4*9²  = 113.4 N


  2. F1 = K q1q2  / r²

    F2 = K q1q2  / (r/9)²

  3. f1=qqk/r^2

    so to know the force difference

    f2=qqk/(1/9*r)^2

    solve for f2

    f1/f2 = (1/9 *r)^2/r^2

    f1=1.4

    1.4/f2=1/81

    f2=113.4 N  

  4. F= Kq1q2/r**2

    lets say initially r =1m

    if r is reduced to 1/9, then r**2 would be 1/81

    therefore F=Kq1q2/(1/81) .... F= (81)Kq1q2

    the force will be 81 times greater, F= 81(1.4)=113.4 N
