Coulomb's Law quantifies the electrostatic force between two charged particles. It states that the force is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

الصيغة

The calculator applies F = k × |q₁ × q₂| / r² where k is Coulomb\'s constant

أخطاء شائعة يجب تجنبها

  • Forgetting to square the distance in the denominator
  • Using distance in centimeters instead of meters, which affects calculation accuracy

أسئلة شائعة

Why does force decrease with distance squared?

The electric field spreads spherically in three-dimensional space, so its strength decreases with the inverse square of distance.

Can this law handle opposite charges?

Yes, opposite charges experience attractive force (negative) while like charges experience repulsive force (positive).
