drive the equation of coulomb's law?
Answers
Answer:
Coulomb's law explains the electrostatic force at a given distance squared. It's stated as: Force = (k) x (e1) x (e2) / r^2. The real source of Coulomb's law is the creation of an electron 'charge' in accordance with E = M x C^2.
When solving a problem in electricity and magnetism I always first look at Maxwell’s Equations.
∮E⃗ ⋅dA→=qϵ0 (Gauss’s Law)
∮B⃗ ⋅dA→=0 (Gauss’s Law for Magnetism)
∮E⃗ ⋅dl→=−dΦBdt (Faraday’s Law)
∮B⃗ ⋅dl→=μ0(I+ϵ0dΦEdt) (Ampere-Maxwell Law)
Coulomb’s Law relates force to charge and Gauss’s Law relates electric field to charge so that looks like the equation to use. Enclose the single charge q in a sphere of radius r . Because of symmetry, the electric field will be the same everywhere on the sphere’s surface. The left hand side of Gauss’s Law then reads
∮E⃗ ⋅dA→=E∮dA=EA=E4πr2
becuase the area of a sphere is 4πr2 .
We’re left with E4πr2=
or solving for the E-field
E=
Noting that the force on a particle with charge Q is F=QE so our final result is
F=
We have proved Coulomb’s Law!
