Asp0503 Tutorial 1 Electric Forces & Electric Fields Coulomb's Law 1

1. This document contains a tutorial on electric forces and fields including Coulomb's Law. It provides examples of calculating electrostatic force between charges and finding the electric field and forces from various charge configurations. 2. The document contains instructions to calculate and draw the electric field patterns and forces between combinations of positive and negative point charges placed at different distances and orientations from each other. 3. Methods are described to determine the electric field strength and force on a test charge placed in the field of other charges using Coulomb's Law and concepts of electric field lines.
