Coulombs Law:
The force on a charge due to another charge is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the separation squared.
q2
q1
q1q2 F 2 r
The force is always parallel to a line connecting the charges, but the direction depends on the signs of the charges: q2 q2 q2

Balloons
Take two balloons and rub them both with a piece of cloth. After you rub them they will:
A) Attract each-other
13
Balloons
If the same thing is done to both balloons they will acquire the same sign charge. They will repel !

Coulombs Law
Our notation
F1,2 is the force by 1 on 2 (think by-on ) r12 is the unit vector that points from 1 to 2.
Examples If the charges have the same sign, the force by charge 1 on charge 2 would be in the direction of r12 (to the right) q1
r1,2
q2
F1,2
If the charges have opposite sign, the force by charge 1 on charge 2 would be opposite the direction of r12 (left) q1 F1,2 q2

Two charges, q with +1 C and Q with +10 C are placed near each other as shown in the figure. Which of the following diagrams best depicts the forces acting on the charges?
Checkpoint 1
The forces are in opposite directions because they have like charges. The arrow on the +10 is longer because it has a greater magnitude than the +1 Determining the force of one charge on the other requires that the charges be multiplied. The order of multiplication is irrelevant. Since all other factors are constant between the two, the charges must be equal. Also, Newton's Third Law. Because the right hand sphere has a charge of +10C, it would impact the smaller sphere by -10C and visa versa.

Superposition:
If there are more than two charges present, the total force on any given charge is just the vector sum of the forces due to each of the other charges:

What happens to Force on q1 if its sign is changed
A) |F1| increases B) C) |F1| remains the same |F1| decreases

Case 1
Case 2
The vector sum of the coulomb forces in case 1 results in an effectively doubled force, while the case 2 coulomb forces would cancel each other out. Because in Case 2, both charges have the same sign, the charge in the middle will have a net force pointing downwards, whereas in Case 1 the charge in the middle does not have a net force exerted on it. they are all the same because magnitude of force is kqq/r^2

Checkpoint
Four charged particles are placed on a circular ring with radius 3 m as shown below. A particle with charge Q is placed in the center of the ring
3q
y x
The magnitude and y component of the particle above the origin is greater than the magnitudes and y components of the particles below the origin. They are equal magnitudes opposite directions which cancel out The outer two charges exert only a fraction of their force in the y direction, therefore, the sum of the three lower charges must be less than the upper charge who's force is three times as large.
