Charges are measured in
units of Coulombs (C)
Similarities
 Essentially the same formula
 Vary directly as the amount of
“stuff”
 Vary inversely as the square of
the distance
 Constants just set units
Differences
 Gravity force is always toward
the other mass, electrostatic
force can be either direction
depending on sign of the
charges
 Positive (+) means they repel
 Negative (-) means they attract
1. A negative charge of -3.0x10-6 C and a positive charge of
4.0x10-6 C are separated by a distance of 3 mm. What is
the force on the negative charge? (magnitude and
direction)
q1 = -3x10-6 C
q2 = 4x10-6 C
r = 3x10-3 m
(9x109)(-3x10-6)(4x10-6)

or
-1.2x104
E=

E = 3.0x109 N/C from positive to negative charge
4. A positive 6.0x10-9 C charge experiences a force of
1.8x10-5 N to the right. What is the electric field at the
location of that charge from other charges?
F = 1.8x10-5 N
q2 = 6x10-9 C
1.8x10-5
E=
6x10-9
E = 3000 N/C to the right
The electric field always comes out of a positive charge and
into a negative charge:

5. What is the direction of the electric field between the
two charges of problem 1?
Electric Field always goes
from positive to negative!
