how to use coulomb's law to find the r value of the three points when the total distance is 50 cm
Homework Equations
f=Kqq/r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
i assumed that is it was uniform and sais r1+r2=r3 but now i think that is wrong
Coulomb's Law is a fundamental law of electrostatics that describes the force between two charged particles. It states that the force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The formula for calculating the force between two charged particles is F = k(q1q2)/r^2, where F is the force in Newtons, k is the Coulomb's constant (9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2), q1 and q2 are the charges of the particles in Coulombs, and r is the distance between the particles in meters.
The unit of charge used in Coulomb's Law is the Coulomb (C). One Coulomb is equal to the charge of 6.24 x 10^18 electrons.
Yes, Coulomb's Law can be used to calculate the force between multiple charged particles. In this case, the force between each pair of particles must be calculated separately and then added together to find the total force.
The force between two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the distance between the particles increases, the force between them decreases. Conversely, as the distance decreases, the force increases.
