Electrical Forces 4.1.3 Coulomb’s Law
- Electrostatic Force Same charges REPEL + + Opposite charges ATTRACT +
r Electrostatic Force • Amount of force depends on: • CHARGE ON EACH OBJECT • DISTANCE BETWEEN OBJECTS • ELECTROSTATIC CONSTANT: k = 8.99 x 109 N·m2/C2 q1 q2 Fe r
r = 1.0 μm Electrostatic vs. Gravitational Force • Consider two electrons that are 1.0 micrometer apart. • Gravitationally ATTRACTED • Electrostatically REPELLED Fe Fe e- e- Fg Fg 2.30 x 10-16 N 5.54 x 10-59 N
Example #1 • Determine the electrostatic force between an object with a +2.0 coulomb charge and an object with a -2.0 coulomb charge if they are separated by 2.0 meters. ATTRACTIVE
Example #2 • Determine the electrostatic force between an object with -2.0 micro-coulombs of charge and an object with -5.0 micro-coulombs of charge if they are separated by 5.0 nanometers. REPULSIVE
