  5. F = kq1q2 r2 Coulomb’s Law • Where: • k = 8.99 x 109 N•m2/C2 • q1, q2 = the charge of each sphere in Coulombs. • r = the distance between the two charged bodies. • Applet 1 - Coulomb's Law • Applet II - Coulomb's Law

  6. Example 1: Two point charges, q1 = 1C q2 = 2C are separated by 1 m. What is the force between them? F = kq1q2 / r2 = (8.99E9N*m2/C2)(1C)(2C)/(1m) 2 = 1.8E10N Where: k = 8.99 x 109 N•m2/C2 q1, q2 = the charge of each sphere in Coulombs. r = the distance between the two charged bodies.

  7. Example 2: Two point charges, q1 = 1C q2 = -2C are separated by 1 m. What is the force between them? F = kq1q2 / r2 = (8.99E9N*m2/C2)(1C)(2C)/(1m) 2 = -1.8E10N Where: k = 8.99 x 109 N•m2/C2 q1, q2 = the charge of each sphere in Coulombs. r = the distance between the two charged bodies.

  8. Example 3: Two point charges, q1 = 1E-19C q2 = -2E-19C are separated by 1E-10 m. What is the force between them? F = kq1q2 / r2 = (8.99E9N*m2/C2)(1E-19C)(-2E-19C)/(1E-10m) 2 = -1.798E-8N Where: k = 8.99 x 109 N•m2/C2 q1, q2 = the charge of each sphere in Coulombs. r = the distance between the two charged bodies.

  9. Example 4: At what distance does the electrostatic force between two protons equal 899N? F = kq1q2 / r2 kq1q2 / F = r2 (8.99E9)(1.6E-19)2 / 899 = (2.56E-31) r= 5.05E-16 Where: k = 8.99 x 109 N•m2/C2 q1, q2 = the charge of each sphere in Coulombs. r = the distance between the two charged bodies.

  10. Graphs (oh, no, not again.) • Graph of F vs. r? • Graph of F vs. q1q2?

  11. Key Ideas • Like charges repel. • The electrostatic force is proportional to the charge on the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
