How many excess electrons must be present on each sphere if the magnitude of the force of repulsion between them is 3.33××10−21−21 NN?

Answer :

Answer:

There are 756.25 electrons present on each sphere.

Explanation:

Given that,

The force of repression between electrons, [tex]F=3.33\times 10^{-21}\ N[/tex]

Let the distance between charges, d = 0.2 m

The electric force of repulsion between the electrons is given by :

[tex]F=k\dfrac{q^2}{r^2}[/tex]

[tex]q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}[/tex]

[tex]q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.33\times 10^{-21}\times (0.2)^2}{9\times 10^9}}[/tex]

[tex]q=1.21\times 10^{-16}\ C[/tex]

Let n are the number of excess electrons present on each sphere. It can be calculated using quantization of charges. It is given by :

q = ne

[tex]n=\dfrac{q}{e}[/tex]

[tex]n=\dfrac{1.21\times 10^{-16}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}[/tex]

n = 756.25 electrons

So, there are 756.25 electrons present on each sphere. Hence, this is the required solution.
