Coulomb's Law: Consider a container of 2.0 g of hydrogen, H2 (one mole). Suppose you removed all the electrons and moved them to the other side of the earth (Earth's radius is 6380 km, k = 1/4??0 = 9.0 × 109 N ? m2/C2, NA = 6.022 × 1023 molecules/mol, e = 1.60 × 10-19 C)(a) How much charge is left behind after you remove the electrons?(b) What electric force do the protons exert on the electrons after they are separated as described?
