Question 12
Coulomb's Law PhET Simulation: Investigation of How Distance Between Charges Affects Electrostatic Force
For this part, we will be adjusting the DISTANCE ONLY.
Set charge 1 for -4 µC
Set charge 2 for 8 µC
Given the charge values and the distances, determine the electrostatic force between the charged particles and if they are attracted, repelled, or neither.
*If two charges are attracted, their electrostatic force is negative**
**If the two charges are repelled, their electrostatic force is positive**
1. Trial 1: Force =
Selected:e. - 719.004 NThis answer is correct.
2. Trial 2: Force =
Selected:f. 89.876 NThis answer is incorrect.
3. Trial 3: Force =
Selected:a. 179.751 NThis answer is incorrect.
4. Trial 4: Force =
Selected:c. - 179.751 NThis answer is incorrect.
5. Trial 1: Are the charged particles attracted, repelled, or neither?
Selected:g. RepelledThis answer is incorrect.
6. Trial 2: Are the charged particles attracted, repelled, or neither?
Selected:j. AttractedThis answer is correct.
7. Trial 3: Are the charged particles attracted, repelled, or neither?
Selected:g. RepelledThis answer is incorrect.
8. Trial 4: Are the charged particles attracted, repelled, or neither?
Selected:h. NeitherThis answer is incorrect.
9. Trial 1: Force = -719.004 N, Charged particles are attracted
10. Trial 2: Force = 89.876 N, Charged particles are repelled
11. Trial 3: Force = 179.751 N, Charged particles are repelled
12. Trial 4: Force = -179.751 N, Charged particles are attracted
