What is the force between two small charged spheres having charges of 2*10^-7 and 3*10^-7 placed 30cm apart in air?

$\huge\red{\underline{{\boxed{\textbf{ANSWER}}}}}$

According to Coulomb's law,

Force between two charged particles in air is given by:

$force = \frac {k(q1 \times q2)}{r}$

$k = \frac{1}{4\pi \: \: \: \: \: \: epsilon}$

= 9 x 10^9 N m² /C²

q1 and q2 = charges of two charged spheres

r = distance between charged spheres

Force between between two small charged spheres charges kept apart in air =

(9 x 10^9 N m² /C²) * (2 x 10^(-7) C) * (3 x 10^(-7) C)/(30 x 10^-2 m)²

= 3/500

= 6 x 10^-3 N

or 6 mN.

Nature of force = Repulsive.

So Force => 6 mN Repulsive.
