(1, 3, 2) m. Find F, and using vector form of Coulomb's law.
Answers
Answer:
Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law[1] of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force.[2] The law was first discovered in 1785 by French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, hence the name. Coulomb's law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism, maybe even its starting point,[1] as it made it possible to discuss the quantity of electric charge in a meaningful way.[3]
Explanation:
To compare the two forces, we first compute the electrostatic force using Coulomb's law, F=k∣q1q2∣r2 F = k ∣ q 1 q 2 ∣ r 2 . We then calculate the gravitational force using Newton's universal law of gravitation
