ELECTROSTATICS
Electrostatics = static electricity
= study of charges that do not move
CONVERSIONS
COULOMB’S LAW
Two point charges in free space or air exert forces
on each other. The force is directly proportional to
the product of the charges and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance
between the charges.

RATIOS
In ratio questions, the same process is used as with
Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation.

EXAMPLE:
Two charges experience a
force F when held a distance
r apart. How would this force
be affected if one charge is
doubled, the other charge is
tripled and the distance is
halved.
Determine the resultant electrostatic force

• Both objects experience the
same force (Newton’s Third
Law of Motion).
CALCULATIONS: 2D
Determine the resultant electrostatic force on

ELECTRIC FIELDS
An electric field is a region of space in which an electric
charge experiences a force. The direction of the electric field
at a point is the direction that a positive test charge (+1C)
would move if placed at that point.
ELECTRIC FIELDS
ELECTRIC FIELD STRENGTH
Electric field strength at any point in space is the
force per unit charge experienced by a positive test
charge at that point.

E = electric field strength E = electric field strength (N∙C−1)
