Find Electric Force Using Mass, Gravity & Angle

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating electric force (Fe) using mass, gravity, and angle. The primary formulas referenced are Fe = kq1q2/r^2 and Fe = |E|q, where k is Coulomb's constant, q represents charge in Coulombs, and |E| is the electric field strength. Participants clarify that gravity does not influence electric forces, indicating that the angle may relate to the orientation of the electric field rather than a direct calculation involving gravity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Coulomb's Law and electric force equations
  • Familiarity with electric field strength concepts
  • Basic knowledge of trigonometry, particularly how angles affect vector components
  • Concept of charge in Coulombs
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the relationship between electric field strength and angle in vector analysis
  • Study the implications of Coulomb's Law in different orientations
  • Explore the role of trigonometric functions in resolving forces
  • Investigate scenarios where gravitational forces may indirectly affect electric force calculations
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for physics quizzes, educators teaching electric force concepts, and anyone interested in the interplay between electric and gravitational forces.

I have quiz coming up soon, and my teacher hinted that I had to find a formula for electric force using variables of mass, gravity, and an angle.
"Fe" = eletric force, |E| = field strengh, q= charge in Columbs.

To find eletric force all i know is Fe = kq1q2/r^2 , Fe = |E|q

anyone got any ideas on how knowning a angle would help?

Gravity has nothing to do with electric forces, so I don't think you'll find any connection.
