Lab 2. Coulombs Law

The electrostatic forces which you observed in Lab 1 were studied in detail by Coulomb in 1784. His experiments resulted in the empirical law named after him. It describes the forces that two smalls particle-like charged objects exert on each other, forces that depend on the magnitudes of the charges, q1 and q2, as well as the distance r between the charged particles. See Fig. 1. To attempt to explore Coulomb’s Law using physical apparatus is fraught with difficulty, especially

in south Florida. For this reason, you will be using a computer simulation instead.
