Question 1.
What does Coulomb's Law describe?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how charges interact.
Question 2.
State the formula of Coulomb's Law.
Show hintHide hint
Remember the relationship between force and distance.
3Question 3.
What does Coulomb's Law state about the relation between distance and force?
- The force increases with distance
- The force decreases with distance
- The force is independent of distance
Show hintHide hint
Recall how changing distance affects force.
4Question 4.
Is the electrostatic force between two like charges attractive or repulsive?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think of magnets' behavior.
Question 5.
Two charges, +5C and +5C, are 2 meters apart. Calculate the force between them. How would the force change if one charge became -5C?
Show hintHide hint
Apply Coulomb’s Law and consider the sign change for charges.
Question 6.
In a system with three charges positioned as follows: Charge A is +3C at (0,0), Charge B is +2C at (3,0), and Charge C is -1C at (3,4). Calculate the net force on Charge A.
Show hintHide hint
Break it down into two parts: Forces from B and C acting on A.
