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**
Distance = 2 m
Electrostatic force = 9 x 10^-4 N
The charges are attracted.
