$ F= k_e \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

Coulomb's law

Intuitive

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

Concrete

Coulomb's law is the static limit of the inhomogenous Maxwell equations.

Abstract

The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.

Why is it interesting?

Definitions

  • $F$ is the force between the two charged objects.
  • $k_e$ is Coulomb's contant.
  • $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the charges of the two objects in questions.
  • $r$ is the distance between the two charged objects.
