Coulombs Law

In 1785, Coulomb established the fundamental law of electric

force between two stationary, charged particles. Experiments
show that an electric force has the following properties:
1785

:
(1) The force is inversely proportional to the
square of separation, r2, between the two
charged particles.
P

(2) The force is proportional to the product

of charge q 1 and the charge q 2 on the particles.
R

1B

(3) The force is attractive if the charges are of opposite sign and
repulsive if the charges have the same sign.
We can conclude that

where K is the coulomb constant = 9 109 N.m2/C2.

P

The above equation is called Coulombs law, which is used to

calculate the force between electric charges. In that equation F is
measured in Newton (N), q is measured in unit of coulomb (C)
and r in meter (m).
The constant K can be written as

where is known as the Permittivity constant of free space.

Example
In figure 2.5 what is the resultant force on the charge in the lower left
corner of the square? Assume that q=110-7 C and a = 5cm
P

Solution

For simplicity we number the charges as shown in figure 2.5, then we

determine the direction of the electric forces acted on the charge in the
lower left corner of the square q1

. :
F12 = 0.072 N,
F13 = 0.036 N,
F14 = 0.144 N

F 13
&

F13x = F13 sin 45 = 0.025 N

F13y = F13 cos 45 = 0.025 N

Fx = F13x + F14 = 0.025 + 0.144 = 0.169 N

Fy = F13y - F12 = 0.025 - 0.072 = -0.047 N

.

The resultant force equals

= 0.175 N

The direction with respect to the x-axis equals

= -15.5

Example 2.4
A charge Q is fixed at each of two opposite corners of a square as shown in
figure 2.6. A charge q is placed at each of the other two corners. (a) If the
resultant electrical force on Q is Zero, how are Q and q related.

Example
Two charges are located on the positive x-axis of a coordinate system, as
shown in figure 2.8. Charge q1=2nC is 2cm from the origin, and charge
q2=-3nC is 4cm from the origin. What is the total force exerted by these
two charges on a charge q3=5nC located at the origin?

Solution
The total force on q 3 is the vector sum of the forces due to q 1
and q 2 individually.
