Coulombrsquos Law
bull Methods to electrically charge an object
ndash Conduction bull Direct contact will transfer
electrons such as touching your car door in the winter
bull Friction rubbing your feet against carpet hair against a balloon
ndash Induction no direct contactbull Start with a neutral object Then bring an electrically charged object
near but not in contact with a neutral object
bull The charges in the neutral object will be ldquoinducedrdquo to separate to get closer or farther from the charged object
bull If provided a pathway the separated electrons will leave
bull The object is now positively charged
bull Electrostatics devicesndash Electroscope the
separation of metal leaves indicates the presence of static charge
ndash Van de Graaff generator charge is delivered by a rubber belt to a metal dome
ndash Electrophorus a device used to transfer electric charge
Coulombrsquos Lawndash Calculates the magnitude
of the electric force between two charges
ndash Each charge experiences equal but opposite forces
k is a constant k = 9 x 109 Nm2C2

Differences 1 Gravitational Force is based on MASS
Coulombrsquos law is based on CHARGE2 Gravity is ALWAYS an attractive force
The Electric Force can attract and repel3 ldquoGrdquo is a tiny number therefore gravity force is a relatively
small forceldquokrdquo is a huge number therefore electric force is a
relatively large force
Both laws are INVERSE SQUARE LAWS
ldquoThe Force varies with the inverse of the distance squaredrdquo
At twice the distance d2 = 22 in denominator
= frac14 the Force
At three times the distance 32 in denominator
= 19 the Force
At half the distance (12)2 in denominator
= 4 times the Force
Now if one CHARGE q doubleshellip The Force doubles since they are directly related
