MCAT Question A Day - 2/22/14 - Answer!
What is the force between two 10μC charges separated by a distance of 10 cm?
A. 1.0 x 10-8 N
B. 90 N
C. 30 N
D. -30 N
The correct answer is (B). The force of interaction between two charges is: F = kq1q2 / r2. Since the charges are alike, the force is repulsive (positive sign). This eliminates choice (D) immediately.
