Two point charges of 2c are placed at the separation of d such that electric force between them is equal to the weight of 50kg person. Find d.

Dear Student,
According to the coulomb's law,the electric force between the two point charges is given by,F=Keq1q2r2where, Ke=electric constant, its value is 9×109 Nm2C-2here, q1=q2=2c and r=dand F= mg=50×9.8N=490NSo,490=9×109×2c2cd2d2=9×109×2c2490=9×108×2c249d=9×108×2c249d=3×104×2c7d=6c×1047m

Regards.
