    Undergrad Question about conservation of angular momentum for charges

    I don't know, I just can't see how the relation between distance and velocity could justify that. It made sense in the gravitational field, since when a satellite gets closer it also gets faster. Now, if I have a stationary positive charge and a smaller positive charge in its field, the first...

    Undergrad Question about conservation of angular momentum for charges

    Is the velocity of a charge q moving in an electric field generated by Q inversely proportional to the distance r from q to Q? And if so, why?
