Coulomb's Law for AP Chemistry

Last updated about 5 years ago
4 questions
Attraction between oppositley charged particles is goverened by Coulomb's Law. In this assignement you will explore the factors involved.

Learning Goals: Students will be able to
  1. Determine what makes a force attractive or repulsive
  2. Relate the electrostatic force magnitude to the charges and the distance between them
Explore the interactive below.

By experiment, determine what makes a force attractive or repulsive. Describe your experiments and observations with some examples.

1

How does the value of the electrostatic force vary with the value of the charges?
