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**
