The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Coulomb's Law, which states that the force \( F \) between two point charges is given by the formula: \[ F = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} \] where: - \( F \) is the force between the charges, - \( k \) is Coulomb's constant (approximately \( 8.99 \times 10^9 \, \text{N m}^2/\text{C}^2 \)), - \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) are the magnitudes of the charges, - \( r \) is the distance between the charges. ### Step 1: Identify the initial charges and the force Initially, we have two charges: - \( q_1 = +2C \) - \( q_2 = +6C \) The force between them is given as \( F = 12N \). ### Step 2: Determine the new charges after adding \(-2C\) Each charge is given a charge of \(-2C\): - New \( q_1 = +2C - 2C = 0C \) - New \( q_2 = +6C - 2C = +4C \) ### Step 3: Calculate the new force Now we have: - \( q_1 = 0C \) - \( q_2 = +4C \) Using Coulomb's Law, the new force \( F' \) can be calculated as follows: \[ F' = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} = k \frac{|0 \cdot 4|}{r^2} = k \frac{0}{r^2} = 0 \] ### Conclusion The new force between the charges after giving each a charge of \(-2C\) is \( F' = 0N \). ### Final Answer The value of the force will be \( 0N \). ---
