electrostatic force
The force between electrically charged objects
opposite charges _____
attract
same charges _____
repel
factors affecting electrostatic force
distance (closer = more force) and net charge charge of the objects (net charge further from 0 = more force)
how electrostatic force is related to Earth's formation
In space, 4.6 billion years ago, as mineral grains from the solar dust cloud bumped into each other, this force made the materials clump together.
to calculate net charge
add up all the charges on the object
Positive
Fewer electrons on the object from when it once was neutral
Negative
Added electrons on the object from when it once was neutral
Field Lines
Invisible & can be represented with field lines
No charge; most objects
neutral
Electric Force
push or pull between two or more charged objects
