Can you verify your conclusion? Suppose the distance were reduced to half its original value. By what factor would the force change?Valenciamar said:The force of the sphere increases because according to Coulomb's force increases as the distance decreases.
I'm not sure if this is correct.
Coulomb's Law is a fundamental law of electrostatics that describes the force between two charged objects. It states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.
The force between two charged spheres is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the distance between the spheres increases, the force decreases.
Coulomb's Law and Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation both describe the force between two objects. However, Coulomb's Law applies to electrically charged objects while Newton's Law applies to objects with mass.
Yes, Coulomb's Law can be used to calculate the force between any number of charged spheres. The force between each pair of spheres can be calculated separately and then added together to find the total force.
The unit of measurement for force in Coulomb's Law is Newtons (N). This is the same unit of measurement for force in Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
