What is the magnitude of the electric force of attraction between an iron nucleus (q = +26e) and its innermost electron if the distance between them is 1.5 × 10−12 m?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Therefore the magnitude of required electric force is  292.864×10⁻⁵ N.

Explanation:

The number of proton of iron is 26.

[tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}[/tex]  C is the charge of each proton.

Total charge of 26 proton is =(26×1.6×10⁻¹⁹) C

                                             =41.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

The charge of innermost electron is = - [tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}[/tex] C

Coulomb's Law:

The attraction or repulsion force of two charges is

  • directly proportional to the product of the charges.
  • inversely proportion to the square of distance    

Let [tex]q_1 \ and \ q_2[/tex]  be two positive charge and the distance between the charges be r

Then F∝[tex]q_1 q_2[/tex]

and  [tex]F \propto \frac{1}{r^2}[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Here

[tex]q_1[/tex]=   - [tex]1.6\times 10^{-19}[/tex]C   and   [tex]q_2[/tex]  =41.6×10⁻¹⁹ C

r = 1.5× 10⁻¹² m

K= 9.9×  10⁹C²N⁻¹m⁻²

Therefore

[tex]F=\frac{9.9 \times 10^9\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19})\times 41.6\times 10^{-19}}{(1.5\times 10^{-12})^2}[/tex]   N

  = -292.864×10⁻⁵ N

The mins sign shows the direction of the force.

Magnitude of electric force is only the numerical value of the force.

Therefore the magnitude of required electric force is  292.864×10⁻⁵ N.
