    Study Notes

    Electric Force and Coulomb's Law

    • The electric force between two charges q1 and q2 is described by the equation: F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where k is Coulomb's constant.
    • If two charges q1 and q2 are of the same sign, the force experienced by q1 is repulsive.

    Units and Constants

    • The unit of electrical charge is the Coulomb (C).

    Newton's Laws of Motion

    • Newton's 3rd Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    Permittivity

    • The permittivity of free space is a constant, denoted by ε0, and has a value of 8.85 × 10^-12 F/m.
