Measurements show that a honeybee in active flight can acquirean electrostatic charge on the order of 91.2pC.
1. How many electrons much be transferred toproduce this charge?
Ne =
2. Supposing two bees, both with this charge, areseparated by a distance of 9 cm. What is the magnitude of theelectrostatic force between the these two bees? (You may treat thebees as point charges.)
FE= ______ N
3. What is the ratio of this electrostatic force tothe weight of the 0.12 gm bee?
FE/Fweight =
