A
The force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance of between the charges squared
2
Q
Electric Field
A
A region of space in which an electric charge experiences a force. The direction of the electric field is at a point, is the direction that a positive test charge would move if placed at that point
3
Q
