There are two charges with charge q and mass m and they are in equilibrium. Then, in the diagram why is my teacher saying that electrostatic force(F)=mg? Below is diagram.
Yes. That's right. If you added (head-to-tail) the force vectors acting on the particle, what would the diagram look like?Abhishek Das said:
The charges and masses of the two charges are independent of each other. This means that one charge may have a larger or smaller mass than the other, and vice versa.
The two charges will exert electrostatic forces on each other, either attracting or repelling each other based on their respective charges. This force is governed by Coulomb's Law.
The electrostatic force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that the closer the charges are, the stronger the force between them will be.
The electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges. This means that the greater the magnitude of the charges, the stronger the force between them will be.
The masses of the two charges do not directly affect their electrostatic interaction. However, the masses do play a role in determining the acceleration of the charges when they are subject to a force.
