    What is Coulomb's law?

    Describes the force between two point charges.

    How do like charges interact?

    They repel each other.

    What happens when unlike charges are near each other?

    They attract each other.

    What is the unit of electric charge?

    Coulomb (C).

    What does it mean that electric charge is conserved?

    Charge cannot be created or destroyed.

    What is the implication of charge quantization?

    Charge exists in discrete packets, multiples of electron charge.

    How do you calculate the electric field from a point charge?

    Use the formula E = k * |q| / r^2.

    What is the direction of the electric field created by a positive charge?

    Outward from the charge.

    What is the direction of the electric field created by a negative charge?

    Inward toward the charge.

    What happens if electrons were positively charged?

    The nature of electric forces would reverse.

    What is the effect of connecting two charged spheres with a wire?

    They share charge until equalized.

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

    F = k * |q1 * q2| / r^2.

    What does the electric field line pattern indicate?

    The strength and direction of the electric field.

    How does the electric field behave between two parallel plates?

    It is uniform and directed from positive to negative.

    What is the consequence of having a net charge on an object?

    It creates an electric field around it.

    What is the relationship between electric force and distance?

    Force decreases with the square of the distance.

    What is the significance of the permittivity of free space?

    It affects the strength of electric fields in a vacuum.

    What happens to the force between two charges if the distance is halved?

    The force increases by a factor of four.

    What is the role of a capacitor in a circuit?

    It stores and releases electrical energy.

    What does Kirchhoff's voltage law state?

    The sum of electrical potential differences around a closed loop is zero.
