What is the mathematical form of coulombs law similar to?
newtons gravitational law is similar to that of coulomb's law...
What is it called when you measure of how much electrical energy carries electrons?
Electron flow is current, or coulombs per second. Electron potential is voltage or joules per second.
What is the difference between coulombs law and gravitation law?
Their mathematical forms are identical. The differences are: -- The proportionality constants. Newton's is 'G'. Coulomb's is 1/4Πε0 . -- The variables in Coulomb's numerator are electrical charges and he doesn't care about masses. The variables in Newton's numerator are masses and he doesn't care about charges. (I'm not sure Newton even knew about charges.) -- Coulomb's charges have a choice of two signs, so his forces can be attractive or repulsive, just like the co-eds in my sophomore engineering classes. Newton's masses are always positive, the gravitational forces are always attractive, and to this day negative mass has never yet been observed .
What is the magnitude of the charge on a photon?
The magnitude of the charge on a photon is 4/3 atto Coulombs, 1.33E-18 Coulombs.
What year did coulombs discover America?
Coulombs did not discover America. America was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492.
What is the mathematical form of coulombs law similar to?
newtons gravitational law is similar to that of coulomb's law...
Is coulombs law a universal law?
No
How much charge does 12.5x1018 electrons have?
1.6x10^-19 coulombs/electron x 12.5x10^18 electrons = 20 coulombs
What is the definition of a current?
Current is electrical charge flow, in coulombs per second. We simplify coulombs per second and call it amperes.
What is electrical charge measured in?
Coulombs. 1 Coulomb = 6,241,510,000,000,000,000 electron or proton charges (rounded to the nearest 10 trillion)
Th flow of an electrical current be?
The flow of an electrical current be -- Coulombs per Second or Ampere hours per hour.
Give the electrical charge of electron?
The electrical charge of the electron is negative. Proton is positive Neutron is neutral Electron is negative
What is the difference between volts and current?
Electrical current is the number of elementary charge units (coulombs) that pass by a given point in one second. Current, measured in amperes, is coulombs per second. Electrical voltage is the "pressure" behind that current. Voltage, measured in volts, is joules per coulomb.
What is moving electrical charges measured in amperes?
Charges, whether moving or not, are measured in coulomb, not in amperes.Amperes is the unit of current - coulombs per second.
What are the limitations coulombs law?
Limitations of coulombs law
Is resistance an opposition to electrical power and voltage is electrical pressure?
Resistance is an opposition to electrical currrent flow, which is more formally coulombs per second, or amperes. Voltage is electrical pressure, more formally joules per coulomb. When you multiply volts and amperes you get joules per second, or watts.
Is resistance an opposite to electrical power and voltage is electrical pressure?
Resistance is an opposition to electrical currrent flow, which is more formally coulombs per second, or amperes. Voltage is electrical pressure, more formally joules per coulomb. When you multiply volts and amperes you get joules per second, or watts.
