Coulomb’s Law states that the force is directly proportional to the size of the charges and inversely related to the distance between them. Considering the total charge for the nucleus and the total charge for the electrons, explain why the unexpected trend

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans:- We know ,Atoms are electrically neutral .If we consider the total charge of nucleus (proton+neutron) and total charge of electron,then we can see that

total positive charge of nucleus = total negative charge of the electron around the nucleus.

This means the atomic particles are conserved.They cannot be created or destroyed.They can be transferred from one atom to another. Thus coulomb defined a law in which the force between two point charges is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of their separation.

as here we are considering a charge of nucleus (proton+nuetron) which is positive and electron which is negative so they are unlike charges and hence will show attractive force.

Newton's Law of Cooling states that the rate at which and objects cools is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the object an the surrounding medium. if an object cools from 125F to 100F in half an hour when surrounded by air at a temperautre of 75F, find it's temperature at the end of the next half hour. (Hint: we wrote a differenial equation involving a proportional relationship before in lecture)

We have been discussing the parallel between Newton’s Universal Law of Gravity and Coulomb’s force law: • Both laws define force. Coulomb's law describes the force between electric charges whereas Newton’s law describes the force between masses. • Both are inverse square laws. The forces are proportional to the inverse square of the distance between masses for Newton’s law and the inverse square of the distance between charges for Coulomb’s law. • The forces defined by both laws are central...
