Explanation / Answer

8) a) Magnitude of electrostatic force,

Fe = kqe2/r2 = (8.99 * 109) * (1.6 * 10-19)2 / (3.38 * 10-11)2 = 2.01 * 10-7 N

b) Gravitational force between the electrons,

Fg = Gme2/r2 = (6.67 * 10-11) * (9.11 * 10-31)2 / (3.38 * 10-11)2 = 4.85 * 10-50 N

So, Fe/Fg = (2.01 * 10-7) / (4.85 * 10-50) = 4.14 * 1042

9) At equilibrium,

Spring force on A = Electrostatic force on A by B

Kx = k |qA| |qB| /d2

=> 125x = (8.99 * 109) * (2.02 * 10-6) * (3.58 * 10-6) / (13 * 10-2)2

=> x = 0.031 m
