Task 2: Coulomb's law and electric fields
1. In this unit, you were learning about different yet similar laws of physics -
Newton's universal law of gravitation and Coulomb's law of electrostatics.
Describe one similarity and one difference for these two laws.
2. Refer to the following two images for the questions that follow.
Figure 1
Figure 2
a. Refer to Figure 1:
i. State whether the source charge is positively or negatively charged.
ii. Figure 1 contains arrows that are outwardly pointing. By convention, state how
the directions of field lines are detected.
b. Comparing Figure 1 and Figure 2, you will notice Figure 2 does not have any
arrowheads. Observe the sign of charges for each source charge, (in Figure 2)
and state the direction the arrowheads should be pointing to make it accurate.
