An electron is moving around the nucleus of a hydrogen atom in a circular orbit of radius $r$. The Coulomb force $\overrightarrow{F}$ between the two is (where $K = \frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}$):

  • A
    $ - K\frac{e^2}{r^3}\hat{r}$
  • B
    $K\frac{e^2}{r^3}\vec{r}$
  • C
    $ - K\frac{e^2}{r^3}\vec{r}$
  • D
    $K\frac{e^2}{r^2}\hat{r}$

$ABC$ is a right-angled triangle in which $AB = 3 \ cm$,$BC = 4 \ cm$ and the right angle is at $B$. Three charges $+15 \ \mu C$,$+12 \ \mu C$ and $-20 \ \mu C$ are placed respectively at $A$,$B$ and $C$. The force acting on the charge at $B$ is (in $N$)

Two small spheres,each having an equal positive charge $Q$ (Coulomb),are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length $L$ (metre) from a rigid hook. The whole setup is taken into a satellite where there is no gravity. The two balls are now held by electrostatic forces in a horizontal position. The tension in each string is then:

Why is Coulomb's law associated with Newton's $3^{rd}$ law?
