To describe:The relationship between the magnitude of the electrostatic force, charge on two objects and the distance between the objects.
To write: The equation for this relationship.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The force of attraction or repulsion between the electrically charged particles is known as electrostatic force. Electric charges of same polarity opposes to each other and the charges with different polarity attracts with each other. The range of electrostatic force is very small which is in the order of one tenth of the nucleus diameter, that is
If
And also the magnitude of electrostatic force
Combining the expressions
OR
Where
This is called Coulomb’s law.
