Introduction
Coulomb’s Law defines the Force acting upon two charged objects relative to their charge that they hold as well as the distance between them. The interaction between these two charges occur through non-contact which is prevalent over the distance between them. Vectors are most commonly used to represent the force between two charged points. Being that is a force acting upon these two charged objects the strength of the interaction between these two charges is a vector quantity (Physics Classroom, 2015). The direction of these vectors is dependent on the type of charge on these two points, like charges repel each other therefore they will have a negative force acting upon them, as they repel each other. Opposite and a

The direction of the force is also directed along the same line which joins the to charges together. As stated before it can either be an attractive or repuslive force dependant on the charges.
This law however can only be used to calculate the force between two point charges, a point charge is defined as an object that has a constant charge and mass however the charge doesn’t contain any size or extension.
The Van De Graaff generator works by inducing a charge on top of a metal conductive surface, A rubber belt is passed through two different materials which causes a charge to be produced. There are small combs at the top of the generator which comb electrons from the belt onto the conductive ball which spread across the surface producing a net charge of the surface. The top of the Van De Graaff generator is circular which will act as point charge when the charge has evenly distributed itself across the surface.
Aim
The aim of this experiment is to determine whether or not the force of attraction between two point charges is accurately modelled by coulomb’s law and that the force of attraction between two point charges decreases at the rate of 1/r2.
Hypothesis
It is hypothesised that the force of attraction due to the charged grounding ball on the neutral Styrofoam ball will follow coulomb’s law and the force of attraction will decrease inversely
* Protons and electrons have equal and opposite electrical charges. Protons are positively charged, and electrons are negatively charged.
An ionic bond is a bond that results from the attraction between oppositely charges ions; one atom "gives" another atom an electron. Combinations of metals and nonmetals typically form ionic bonds. A covalent bond is a bond that results from
The initial examples of use of force continuum were developed in the 1980s and early
Beta: this is a fast moving electron and has a negative charge. It has small mas and travels future but isn’t blocked by the air.
The cause of static electricity is when there is an unbalanced molecular construction or non conductive insulators such as plastic, glass, ceramics, and other non conductive materials
A London dispersion force is the name given to intermolecular forces in a non-polar compound. It greatly depends on the amount of electrons in a molecule. The larger/ heavier molecules have more electrons resulting in a greater attractive London force. This is because as the external force causes a temporary shift, the electrons will move to one side and it will become more negative resulting in a greater attraction. Then it will return to its previous state of the dispersion of
3. Electrons are small and are negatively charged (-) with a mass of almost 0 amu..
Since the charge moves in the direction of the field, the field does the work
Since the force is perpendicular to the electron's velocity vector, and thus the path of the electrons, the work done by the field on the electrons is 0, because W = F*d*cos(theta), and theta=90 degrees, therefore cos(theta)=0, and W=0
The electrons move because they experience a electric current force in the wire. The battery causes an electric field and the electrons experience a force due to that field. The current flows in the opposite direction of the electrons and the flow of the
As the size of the negative ion and the charge on the positive ion both increase and the size of the positive ions decrease, the polarisation effect increases. This polar ionic bonding gives many of the atoms covalent characters. Sometimes one of the atoms become so highly polarised that they share the electrons and therefore can create covalent bonds. Covalent bonding takes place where two atoms have a single, unpaired electron in an atomic orbital; these orbitals will therefore overlap so that the two atoms are sharing a pair of electrons. The attraction that holds the atoms together is the force between the electron and the nuclei in each of the atoms.
The purpose of this lab is to calibrate two force sensors properly. Observe the directional relationship between force pairs. Observe the time variation of force pairs. We need to explain Newton’s third law in simple language.
The forces that are involve with the experiments are basically focused on the concurrent forces. The experiment also allows us to develop the condition of balancing or arranging the angles both sides on a force table. This laboratory experiment allows us to take the mathematical abstraction of a vector to make it tangible as possible. This experiment will look into two ways of
Originally electricity and magnetism were thought of as two separate forces. This view changed, however, with the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's 1873Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism in which the interactions of positive and negative charges were shown to be regulated by one force. There are four main effects resulting from these interactions, all of which have been clearly demonstrated by experiments:
Magnetic repulsion works on the principle of using electro magnets to levitate objects. Unlike normal magnets, electro magnets are created by the movement of current through wires. This means that the strength of the magnet can be changed by increasing or decreasing the current in the wire. As well as this, it is possible to change the poles of the magnet. This is important as it allows the magnet to both push and pull depending on the current. Using the idea that north repels north and south repels south, if the ground were to have the same pole as the electric magnet, then the electric magnet would hover. This idea can better be seen in figure 1.
