At what separation should two equal charges 1.0 C each, be placed so that the force between them equals the weight of a 50 kg person?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the separation \( r \) at which the electrostatic force between two equal charges of \( 1.0 \, \text{C} \) each 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 can be calculated using the formula: \[ W = m \cdot g ...
