Topic 14: Electrostatics (Grade 11)
Coulomb's law
State Coulomb's law: The magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by one point
charge (Q1) on another point charge (Q2) is directly proportional to the product of
the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the
distance (r)between them:
kQ1Q2
Solve problems using the equation F = for charges in one dimension (1D) (restrict
r2
to three charges).
kQ1Q2
Solve problems using the equation F = for charges in two dimensions (2D) – for
r2
three charges in a right-angled formation (limit to charges at the 'vertices of a right- angled
triangle').
Electric field
Describe an electric field as a region of space in which an electric charge experiences a
force. The direction of the electric field at a point is the direction that a positive test
charge would move if placed at that point.
Draw electric field patterns for the following configurations:
o A single point charge
o Two point charges (one negative, one positive OR both positive OR both negative)
o A charged sphere
Define the electric field at a point: The electric field at a point is the electrostatic
F
force experienced per unit positive charge placed at that point. In symbols: E .

Calculate the electric field at a point due to a number of point charges, using the equation

E 2 to determine the contribution to the field due to each charge. Restrict to three
r
charges in a straight line.
