Q

Coulomb’s Law

A

for like charges, the PE is positive and decreases as the particles get farther apart (r increases)
for opposite charges, the PE is negative and becomes more negative as the particles get closer together
the strength of the interaction increases as the size of the charges increases

essentially, E is proportional to q1q2 / r
