This force is called the **electric force**. **Charles Coulomb** conducted a variety of experiments in an attempt to determine the magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects. $F = k_c(\frac{q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^2})$ $K_c$ is Coulomb’s constant and has a value of $8.9875 x 10^9 N \frac{m^2}{c^2}$ Force is a vector quantity. --- Return [[Home|Home]] | [[Notes Vault/Physics Notes Vault/Physics Skills/Physics|Physics]] | [[Electricity]] | [[Charges]] | [[Coulomb's law]] | [[Electric Field]]
