Electric Force
Electric force, a fundamental concept in physics, governs the interaction between charged particles. It's a fundamental force of nature responsible for both the attraction and repulsion of charged objects. Described by Coulomb's law, this force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Understanding electric force is crucial in various fields, from understanding the behavior of atoms and molecules to the functioning of electrical circuits and devices. Its significance spans across disciplines, shaping our understanding of the universe at both microscopic and macroscopic scales.
