Aproton and an electron are fixed 1.75 nm apart from each other. what is the force exerted on the electron due to the proton?

The magnitude of electrical force between them is about 7.52 × 10⁻¹¹ Newton

Electric charge consists of two types i.e. positively electric charge and negatively electric charge.

There was a famous scientist who investigated about this charges. His name is Coulomb and succeeded in formulating the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges i.e. :

F = electric force (N)

k = electric constant (N m² / C²)

q = electric charge (C)

r = distance between charges (m)

The value of k in a vacuum = 9 x 10⁹ (N m² / C²)

Let's tackle the problem now !

Given:

charge of proton = q₁ = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

charge of electron = q₂ = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

distance between proton and electron = R = 1.75 nm = 1.75 × 10⁻⁹ m

Unknown:

electrical force between them = F = ?
