Question

What are the characteristics of the Colombian force?

Answer 1

Define Colombian force:

The attraction or repulsion of particles or things due to their electric charge is called Colombian force.

Mathematically, the Colomb force formula is represented below:

$\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{k}\frac{{\mathrm{q}}_1{\mathrm{q}}_2}{{\mathrm{r}}^2}$

Here,

$\mathrm{F}$ is the electric force.

$\mathrm{k}$ is the electrostatic force constant.

${\mathrm{q}}_1,{\mathrm{q}}_2$ are the charges.

$\mathrm{r}$ is the distance of seperation.

The characteristics of the Colombian force:

1. Depending on the circumstances of such a charge, the force might well be either attracting ( force between like charges) or repellent (force between unlike charges).
2. This force follows the superposition principle as well as the inverse square law.
3. This same Columbian force seems to be media dependent, which means that although the vacuum is being swapped by yet another medium, the amount of such force changes.
4. Colombian forces constitute non-contact forces that pull as well as push on things despite establishing connections with each other.
