Lesson 1.2: Coulomb's Law Flashcards
1
Q
the magnitude of the electric force between two points charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between

A
F = Force of Attraction
k = constant (9x10^9 / m^2 / c^2)
q1 = first charge
q2 = second charge
r² = distance between two charges (point charge)
