Study Notes

Electric Force

The electric force is responsible for the attraction or repulsion between electrically charged objects.
The magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects is determined by the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
If the distance between two charged objects is doubled, the electric force between them will be reduced to a quarter of its original value.
