Question

Explain vector form of Coulomb's law and its importance

Answer 1

Answer:

According to Coulomb's law, the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged bodies is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It acts along the line joining the two charges considered to be point charges.

$\huge \blue\star \: \mathfrak\pink {its \: importance} \: \blue \star$

It signifies, the inverse square dependence of electric force.

It can also be used to provide relatively simple derivations of Gauss' law for general cases accurately.

Finally, the vector form of Coulomb's law is important as it helps us specify the direction of electric fields due to charges.
