Explain how static electricity and
magnetism are similar. In your answer use
the terms non-contact force and force field.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:There are many similarities between static electricity and magnetism.
Some similarities are:
1.Similar repel , opposite attract:
The two opposite kinds of electric charge are called positive and negative. Opposite
charges attract each other , and similar charges repel each other.
A magnet has two opposite poles, referred to as north and south. Opposite magnetic
poles attract each other, and similar magnetic poles repel each ,exactly as happens
with electric charges.
2. The force with which magnetic poles attract or repel each other depends on the strength of the poles and the distance between them. This relationship is similar to Coulomb's inverse square law for electric charges , which is
electric charge= (coulomb constant x first charge x second charge)/(distance)2
3.Electricity produces magnetic effects and magnetism produces electric effects.
The relationship between electricity and magnetism is called electromagnetism.
