Two infinitesimally small bodies are charged by rubbing against each other are found to attract each other with a force of `3.7xx10^(-13)` N when separated by a distance of `5xx10^(-8)` m. How many electrons were transferred from one body to the other after rubbing ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will use Coulomb's law and the relationship between charge and the number of electrons. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Data We are given: - Force of attraction (F) = \(3.7 \times 10^{-13}\) N - Distance (r) = \(5 \times 10^{-8}\) m ### Step 2: Apply Coulomb's Law ...
