AP Physics 1 › Coulomb's Law
An excess charge of is put on an ideal neutral conducting sphere with radius
. What is the Coulomb force this excess charge exerts on a point charge of
that is
from the surface of the sphere?
Determine the strength of a force of proton on another proton in the nucleus if they are apart.
Two protons are at a distance away from each other. There is a force
acting on each proton due to the other. If the protons are moved so that they are now at a distance
apart, what is the new force acting on each proton due to the other
?
If we have 2 charges, and
, that are
apart, what is the force exerted on
by
if we know that
has a charge of
and
has a charge of
?
If we have 2 charges, and
, that are
apart, what is the force exerted on
by
if we know that
has a charge of
and
has a charge of
?
Charges A and B are placed a distance of from one another. The charge of particle A is
whereas the charge of particle B is
. Charge B experiences an electrostatic force of
from charge A. Similarly, charge A experiences an electrostatic force of
from charge B.
What is the ratio of to
?
Write, in vector notation, the force exerted on a positive charge of by a negative charge of
, if the two charges sitting on the
-axis, with the positive charge sitting
to the right of the negative charge?
If we have 2 charges, and
, that are
apart, what is the magnitude of the force exerted on
by
if we know that
has a charge of
and
has a charge of
?
If the distance between two charged particles is doubled, the strength of the electric force between them will __________.
What are the unit(s) of Coulomb's constant ?
