Concept explainers
Electrostatic force The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point charges Q and q of the same sign is given by
- a. Find the instantaneous rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the charges.
- b. For two identical charges with Q = q = 1 C, what is the instantaneous rate of change of the force at a separation of x = 0.001 m?
- c. Does the magnitude of the instantaneous rate of change of the force increase or decrease with the separation? Explain.
