Questions and Answers

According to Coulomb's Law, what is the formula for the force between two charges Q1 and Q2?

  • $F = \frac{Q1 \cdot Q2}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R_{12}^2}$ (correct)
  • $F = \frac{Q1 + Q2}{R_{12}}$
  • $F = \frac{Q1 \cdot Q2}{R_{12}}$
  • $F = \frac{Q1 + Q2}{4\pi\epsilon_0 R_{12}^2}$
  • What does the vector a12 represent in Coulomb's Law?

  • The magnitude of the force between Q1 and Q2
  • The position vector of Q2 relative to Q1
  • The displacement vector of Q2 relative to Q1
  • The unit vector in the direction of the line segment from Q1 to Q2 (correct)
  • In the given example, what is the value of R12?

  • $R12 = 1\hat{a}_x + 2\hat{a}_y + 3\hat{a}_z$
  • $R12 = 1\hat{a}_x - 2\hat{a}_y + 2\hat{a}_z$
  • $R12 = 2\hat{a}_x - 2\hat{a}_y + 2\hat{a}_z$
