Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the separation \( R \) between two equal charges of \( 1.0 \, \text{C} \) each, such that the electrostatic force between them equals the weight of a \( 50 \, \text{kg} \) person. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the weight of the person**: The weight \( W \) of a person is given by the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g ...
