- A9 16 2 10⁴
- B9 2 10⁴
- C4.5 2 10⁴
- D9 16 2 10⁵
Correct answer
A. 9 16 2 10⁴
Step-by-step solution
E ₂ = - KP₂ r^3 ; E ₁ = - 2KP₁ r^3 P₁ = 2 10⁻⁶ 10⁻² = 2 10⁻⁸ P₂ = 4 10⁻⁶ 10⁻² = 4 10⁻⁸ E _ net = 2 9 10^9 2 10⁻⁸ (0.4)^3 i - 9 10^9 4 10⁻⁸ (0.4)^3 j E _ net = 9 10^9 4 10⁻⁸ (0.4)^3 [ i - j ] | E _ net | = 9 10^4 16 ( 2 )
