Question 1

An alpha particle (charge = +2e) is sent at high speed toward a gold nucleus (charge +79e). What is the electrical force acting on the alpha particle when it is at a distance of 2 × 1014 m away from the gold nucleus? (e = 1.6 × 1019 C)


Question 2

Imagine for a minute that the Moon is held in its orbit about the Earth by electrical forces rather than by gravitation. What electrical charges Q on the Earth and +Q on the Moon are necessary to hold the Moon in a circular orbit with a period of 27.3 days? The Earth-Moon distance is 384 000 km and the mass of the Moon is 7.35 × 1022 kg.
