Coulomb's Law (Online Exercise)

Strictly online exercise in which students can manipulate charges to qualitatively and quantitatively explore the Coulomb force.

Student Objectives

  • Learn to use the Coulomb’s Law simulator
  • Observe the forces between charged particles
  • Revisit the inverse-square mathematical relationship
  • Measure the effect of changing the magnitudes of the charges
  • Calculate the impact of varying the distance between the charges
