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 = .2. Trial 2: Force = 3. Trial 3: Force =4. Trial 4: Force = 5. Trial 1: Are the charged particles attracted, repelled, or neither? 6. Trial 2: Are the charged particles attracted, repelled, or neither? 7. Trial 3: Are the charged particles attracted, repelled, or neither? 8. Trial 4: Are the charged particles attracted, repelled, or neither?
1. Trial 1: The charged particles are attracted, with a negative force.
2. Trial 2: The charged particles are attracted, with a negative force.
3. Trial 3: The charged particles are attracted, with a negative force.
4. Trial 4: The charged particles are attracted, with a negative force.
