Electrostatics Quiz + Key

1. A -1.0x10-9 C charge and a 3.0 x 10-9 C charge separated by 5.0x10-2 m attract each other with a force of 1.1x10-5 N. 2. 2.20 x 1020 electrons have a charge of 34.9 C or 35.2 C. 3. If the first of two identical charges is tripled to 4.0 N and the second is halved, the new force is 6.0 N.
