Answer:
1.5X10^-4C
Explanation:
Expression for the electric force between the two charges is given by -
F = (k*q1*q2) / r^2
Here, k = constant = 9 x 10^9 N*m^2 / C^2
q1 = unknown
F=25N
q2 = 1.9x10^-6 C
r = 0.32 m
Substitute the given values in the above expression -
25=9x10^9 *(q1) * 1.9 x10^ -6/ (0.32m)^2
25= 17,100* (q1)/ 0.1024
multiply both sides by 0.1024 to get rid of the denominator
2.56=17,100*(q1)
Divide both sides by 17,100 to isolate q1
q1=1.5x10^-4C
