Rearrange the Coulomb's Law formula to find distance(r)


[tex]f = k \frac{(q1)(q2)}{{r}^{2} } [/tex]

Answer :

Answer:

distance in terms of force is given as

[tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{kq_1q_2}{f}}[/tex]

Explanation:

here as we know that the force between two charges placed at distance "r" is given by Coulomb's law

It is given by the formula

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

now we have to rearrange it for finding the distance

so here we will multiply both sides by square of the distance

[tex]f \times r^2 = kq_1q_2[/tex]

now we will divide both sides force "f"

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

now square root both sides

[tex]r = \sqrt{\frac{kq_1q_2}{f}}[/tex]
