1. Define Coulomb’s Law and identify the variables involved, such as charge,
distance, and electrostatic force.
2. Calculate the electrostatic force between two charges using Coulomb’s Law,
given the charge values and the distance between them.
3. Analyze how changes in the magnitude of the charges or the distance between
them affect the strength of the electrostatic force.
4. Design a simple experiment to measure the electrostatic force between two
objects and predict the results using Coulomb’s Law.
What Is Static Electricity?
A stationary electrical charges are built up on the surface of a
material.
conductor.
A material through which a charge will not move easily is called an electric
insulator.

• The principle that describes how adding or removing electrons affects the
resulting electric charge."
𝑞𝑜
𝑛=
𝑞𝑒
n: number of electrons added or removed.
𝑞𝑜 : The charge of the object.
𝑞𝑒 : The charge of a single electron is 1.602 × 10−19 C.
According to Coulomb’s law, the magnitude of the force
between point charge q1 and point charge q2, separated by a
distance r, is proportional to the product of the magnitudes of
the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the
distance between them. It can be written as follows:
The electric force between two charged objects is 0.10 N. What will be the
new force if the charge on one of the objects is made four times larger?
The electric force between two charged objects is 0.18 N. What will be the
new electric force if the objects are moved three times further apart?
