can someone help

OpenStudy (bonnieisflash1.0):

i know but know one is there

OpenStudy (issimplcalcus):

How deep into electrostatics are you? Do you know coulomb's law?

OpenStudy (bonnieisflash1.0):

no not really

OpenStudy (issimplcalcus):

Not really or no? This will change how I go about this.

OpenStudy (bonnieisflash1.0):

not really

OpenStudy (issimplcalcus):

Ok so coulomb's law is (charge1 * charge2)k/r^2 right?

OpenStudy (issimplcalcus):

If I increase or decrease charge one or charge two the amount of force will increase or decrease because (charge1 * charge2)k/r^2 = force and the direction will depend on the sign of the charges

OpenStudy (issimplcalcus):

Electrostatics is done with the assumption that youre moving "positive" particles in space, so a negative force will be an attractive force

OpenStudy (issimplcalcus):

So more charge increases the attraction or repulsion.
