Charge and Coulomb’s Law SPH 4 U
Coulomb’s Law The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is: the charges on objects 1 and 2, measured in Coulombs
Coulomb’s Law The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is: the separation between the centres of charge Note that Coulomb’s Law, like gravity, is an inverse square law.
Coulomb’s Law The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is: constant k = 9. 0 x 109 N∙m 2/C 2
The Law of Electric Charges The direction of the force is determined by the Law of Electric Charges: • Objects with unlike charge attract. • Objects with like charge repel. • Charged objects attract (some) neutral objects.
