This isn't homework, just a bit of extra study that is annoying me. Can't really seem to get my head around this bit.
If you have a worked equation of Coulomb's law and all known variables; Force, Distance between two objects and the charge in Coulomb's, how do you represent this in a graph? I've read that you do the inverse of R^2 which for me is 0.15 metres. I understand that as R increases, the Force decreases and as Force increases, R decreases. How do you represent this on a graph? I don't exactly know how to mathematically represent this as an equation.
Okay so let me give you an example of what I have.
F= 3.4425x10^-5
R= 0.2 so R^2 = 0.04
Q1 = 17x10^-9
Q2 = 9x10^-9
The R is the initial distance though, how do I calculate the distance it has moved due to the force being applied? F=MA?
Need to set the graph up like this by the way, but obviously with numbers.
