Coolant and Coulomb's Law

These flashcards cover key concepts related to coolant, Coulomb's law, and fundamental principles of electric charge relevant to the physics lecture.

Coolant

A unit used to measure the quantity of electric charge.

Coulomb's Law

An equation used to calculate the electrostatic force between two charged objects.

Electric Charge Rules

Opposites attract; like charges repel.

Quantized

An attribute of electrons; they exist in whole number amounts.

Proton

A positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom.

Electrostatic Force

The force of attraction or repulsion between charged objects.

Magnitude

The size or extent of something, in this context, the strength of the electrostatic force.

Direction of Force

Determined by the signs of the charges involved; attractive for opposite signs, repulsive for like signs.

Newton

The unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

Components of a Vector

The projections of a vector in the x and y directions.
