12 Ιαν 2006 · Electric Charge Conservation. The net sum of electric charge is always conserved. So when a charged conducting object is brought into contact with another conducting object, the charges in the two objects may redistribute, but the net charge of the combined two-object system will remain the same.
Coulomb’s Law gives the force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges. If two point charges q1 and q2 are separated by a distance r then the magnitude of the force of repulsion or attraction between them is. = k |q1|.
COULOMB'S LAW. Charles Coulomb (1736-1806) was one of the early scientists to study electrostatics. Coulomb knew that charged objects attracted or repelled each other and therefore they must exert a force on each other. He discovered that :
Coulomb’s law applies to any pair of point charges. When more than two charges are present, the net force on any one charge is simply the vector sum of the forces exerted on it by the other charges. For example, if three charges are present, the resultant force experienced by q3 due to q1 and q2 will be FF31=+3F23 GGG (2.3.1)
Coulomb’s law (continued) Coulomb’s experiment involved an accurate force measurement, using a torsional balance, between two small, charged metal spheres. He adjusted the distance between the spheres and measured the force with the balance. Coulomb probably invented this sort of balance, which has been used ever
To use Coulomb’s Law equation to algebraically solve for an unknown quantity (F, d, Q1 or Q2) in a physics word problem. To combine Coulomb’s Law equation with Newton’s second law, free-body diagrams and trigonometric functions to analyze physical situations that include interacting charges.
