Electrostatics
Two charges of 3 x 10^-6 C and 6 x 10^-6 C are placed 2 m apart in air. Find the force between them.
Apply Coulomb's law: F = kq1q2 / r^2 = (9 x 10^9 x 18 x 10^-12) / 4 = 4.05 x 10^-2 N.
Define electric field intensity and state its SI unit.
Electric field intensity is the force experienced by a unit positive test charge at a point. Its SI unit is newton per coulomb (N/C).
