Two equal charges are placed at a separtion of 1.0 m. What should be the magnitude of the charges so that the force between them equals of a 50 kg person?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the magnitude of two equal charges \( Q \) such that the electrostatic force between them equals the weight of a 50 kg person. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Determine the weight of the person**: The weight \( F \) of a person can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = m \cdot g ...
