Hello I was wondering what the equation is to calculate the tension in terms of coulombs law an example problem would be http://gyazo.com/1319551eb367990c75ee0a782e38a2c2

The equation to calculate tension using Coulomb's Law is T = (k * Q1 * Q2) / r^2, where T represents the tension force, k is the Coulomb's constant (8.99 x 10^9 N*m^2/C^2), Q1 and Q2 are the magnitudes of the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.
Coulomb's Law is used to calculate the electrostatic force between two charged objects. In the context of tension, it can be used to determine the force needed to keep two charged objects suspended at a certain distance from each other.
Yes, the equation for tension using Coulomb's Law can be applied to any type of charged object, as long as they have a defined magnitude of charge and distance between them.
The units used in the equation for tension using Coulomb's Law are Newtons (N) for the tension force, Coulombs (C) for the magnitude of charge, and meters (m) for the distance between the charges. The Coulomb's constant (k) has units of N*m^2/C^2.
The tension calculated using Coulomb's Law is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges. This means that as the distance between the charges increases, the tension force decreases. Conversely, as the distance decreases, the tension force increases.
