Coulomb’s Law Worksheet

1) A –8 μC charge and a +4 μC are separated by 35 m. What is the magnitude of the force

acting between the charges?

2) Add the following vectors and calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant
vector:
8 N at 22° below the -x-axis
15 N at 80° above the +x-axis
25 N along the +x-axis
13 N along the +y-axis.

3) Charges are placed on a straight number line. A +13 μC charge is placed at the origin. A
+24 μC charge is placed at –6 m, a +4 μC charge is placed at +7 m, a +12 μC charge is placed
at +10 m, and a -7 μC charge is placed at –5 m.
What is the magnitude and direction of the force acting on the charge at the origin?
