Coulomb’s Law Apparatus

Coulomb’s Law

Study the force between two electric charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematical Representation

F: electrostatic force

k: Coulomb’s constant

Q1, Q2: charges of the two objects

r: distance between the charges

Potential Investigations

• Quantitative analysis of force-distance relationship.
• Determination of Coulomb’s constant through experimental data.
• Investigation of the effect of charge magnitude on electrostatic force.
• Study of the impact of different dielectric materials on force.
• Exploration of the role of humidity and temperature on experimental results.
