State & explain Coulomb's Inverse Square Law in electrostatics?
Answers
The law. Coulomb's law states that: The magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force is along the straight line joining them.
The Coulumb's Inverse-square law in electrostatics:
•" According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two points of charge is directly proportional to the scalar multiplication of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".
• The formula is given below:
|F| = k|q1.q2|/r^2
Where,
k or ke = Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 = Signed magnitude of the charges
r = Distance between the charges.
• If we provide the force on the straight line applied on the charges where the charges are repulsive, the force will be repulsive and where the charges are opposite the force will be attractive.
