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
Determine what makes a force attractive or repulsive
Relate the electrostatic force magnitude to the charges and the distance between them

In the interactive below, open the macro scale screen and explore the forces between two particles. 

Question 2
