Write some important points for vector form of Coulomb’s law.
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}_{21}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r_{21}^{2}} \cdot \hat{r}_{21}$
and equation is true for both positive and negative values of $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$.
If $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ both are positive or both are negative, then $\overrightarrow{F_{21}}$ is in direction of $\overrightarrow{r_{21}}$ which shows repulsion (like charges).
If $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ are unlike charges, then $\overrightarrow{F_{21}}$ is along $\hat{r}_{21}\left(=-\hat{r}_{12}\right)$ which shows attraction.
By replacing 1 and 2 in above equations $(1)$, $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}_{12}}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_{0}} \cdot \frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{r_{12}^{2}} \hat{r}_{12}=-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{21}$
Coulomb's law is agrees with Newton's third law.
If two charges are placed in medium, then the force between them becomes $\frac{1}{K}$ times means Coulomb force decreases.
Coulomb forces are central forces means they pass through line connecting centres of charges. Coulomb's law is inverse square law.
According to this law, electric force are of two types : attractive and repulsive.
There is no effect of third charge on electric force between two charges. Thus, Coulomb force is called two body force.
Two point charges $Q$ each are placed at a distance $d$ apart. A third point charge $q$ is placed at a distance $x$ from mid-point on the perpendicular bisector. The value of $x$ at which charge $q$ will experience the maximum $Coulomb's force$ is ...............
Three identical charged balls each of charge $2 \,C$ are suspended from a common point $P$ by silk threads of $2 \,m$ each (as shown in figure). They form an equilateral triangle of side $1 \,m$.
The ratio of net force on a charged ball to the force between any two charged balls will be ...........
Write Coulomb’s law and explain its scalar form.
Two identical charged particles each having a mass $10 \,g$ and charge $2.0 \times 10^{-7}\,C$ area placed on a horizontal table with a separation of $L$ between then such that they stay in limited equilibrium. If the coefficient of friction between each particle and the table is $0.25$, find the value of $L$.[Use $g =10\,ms ^{-2}$ ]..........$cm$
Two particle of equal mass $m$ and charge $q$ are placed at a distance of $16\, cm$. They do not experience any force. The value of $\frac{q}{m}$ is
