FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the formula for calculating the electrostatic force between two charges?

Back

The electrostatic force (F) can be calculated using Coulomb's Law: F = k * |q1 * q2| / r^2, where k is Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.
