There are infinitely many ways to achieve that. Which one do you mean? And where are you getting the idea from?not my name said:What's inside the quotation mark in the title.
I mean the "one" where what ##F## converges to determines the strength of the charge.Ibix said:Which one do you mean?
Can you provide a reference to what you are talking about?not my name said:I mean the "one" where what ##F## converges to determines the strength of the charge.
No. (It's just something I came up with.)Ibix said:Can you provide a reference to what you are talking about?
It is called “personal speculation”.not my name said:And is that modified version of Coulomb's law "more accurate"?
Edit: Same thing goes for Newtonian gravity, is "Newtonian gravity but ##F## converges as ##r\rightarrow##0" "more accurate"?
Coulomb's law is a fundamental law in physics that describes the electrostatic interaction between electrically 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.
This means that as the distance between two charged particles decreases, the force between them becomes larger and larger. In other words, the force becomes infinitely strong as the distance between the particles approaches zero.
This is due to the inverse square relationship in Coulomb's law. As the distance between two charged particles decreases, the denominator in the equation (r^2) becomes smaller and smaller, causing the overall force to increase and converge to infinity as r approaches 0.
This convergence highlights the strong repulsive or attractive forces between charged particles when they are very close to each other. It also shows that the force between charged particles can become infinitely strong at extremely small distances.
The convergence of F as r approaches 0 is directly related to the concept of electric fields. As the distance between two charged particles decreases, the electric field between them becomes stronger and stronger, eventually reaching infinity at r=0. This demonstrates the close relationship between Coulomb's law and the concept of electric fields.
