Question

Conclusion: Suggest an equation relating Felect, q1, q2 and d of the form Felect = k•... where k is a proportionality constant (no need to determine its value). Place the three variables q1, q2 and d on the right side of the equation in a numerator or a denominator; use a power if needed. Your equation should be consistent with your claims made in Challenge #1 and Challenge #2. *I already solved the rest of the worksheet, I only need the conclusion.*

Answer 1

Answer:

$F_{elect} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

Explanation:

Consider the given variables:

Felect = Electrostatic Force between charged particles

k = Coulomb's Constant

q₁ = magnitude of first charge

q₂ = magnitude of second charge

d = distance between the charges

The relationship among these variables is given by the Coulomb's Law:

$F_{elect} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

This is the relationship that contains k, q₁, q₂, d on the right-hand side and Felect on the left-hand side.
