  • Close-up of a futuristic electric car with a charging cable connected.

    Electric cars are becoming more popular. One large advantage for electric cars is the low cost of operation, which may become an ever bigger advantage as gas prices climb. costs for electric cars average about one-third of the cost for gasoline engine cars, but they can only travel about 200 miles per charge at this point. These cars run using the science of electrical charges and forces.
    ::电动汽车越来越受欢迎。 电动汽车的一大优势是操作成本低,随着煤气价格的攀升,这可能会成为更大的优势。 电动汽车的成本平均约为汽油发动机汽车成本的三分之一左右,但目前它们只能每收费200英里。 这些汽车使用电费和电力科学运行。

    Coulomb’s Law
    ::库伦姆法

    The questions regarding the relationship between the electrical force, the size of the charge, and the separation between the charges were solved by Charles Coulomb in 1785. He determined that electrical force between two charges is directly related to the size of the charges and inversely proportional to the between the charges. This is known as Coulomb’s law .
    ::Charles Coulomb于1785年解决了电力、电量大小和电量分离之间的关系问题。 他确定,两个电量之间的电力与电量有直接关系,与电量的大小成反比。 这被称为Coulomb的法律。

    F e = K q 1 q 2 d 2
    ::Fe=Kq1q2d2

    In this equation, q 1   and q 2   are the two charges, d  is the distance between the two charges, and K  is a constant of proportionality. F e   is the electric force , which occurs as a result of interactions between two charged particles. For the purpose of calculating electric forces, we assume all charge is a point charge , in which the entire charge of the particle is located in a massless point.
    ::在这个等式中, q1 和 q2 是两个电荷的距离, d 是两个电荷之间的距离, K 是相称性的常数 。 Fe 是电力, 这是两个电荷粒子相互作用的结果 。 为了计算电力, 我们假设所有电荷都是点电荷, 粒子的全部电荷都位于一个无质量点 。

    The SI unit of charge is the coulomb, C , which is the charge of  6.25 × 10 18 electrons. The charge on a single electron is 1.60 × 10 19   C . The charge on a single electron is known as the elementary charge . The charge on a proton is the same magnitude but opposite in sign. When the charges are measured in coulombs, the distance in meters, and the force in Newtons, the constant K  is 9.0 × 10 9   N m 2 / C 2 .
    ::单电子电荷为1.60×10-19 C。单电子电荷为1.60×10-19 C。单电子的电荷称为基本电荷。质子的电荷与质子的电量相同,但信号正好相反。当电荷用脉冲、米的距离和牛顿的威力测量时,恒定K是9.0×109 Nm2/C2。

    The electrical force, like all forces, is a vector quantity. If the two charges being considered are both positive or both negative, the sign of the electrical force is positive and this force is repulsive. If the two charges are opposite in sign, the force will have a negative sign and the force is attractive.
    ::与所有力量一样,电力是一个矢量。 如果考虑的两个电荷是正或负的,那么电力的信号是正的,这种力量是可憎的。 如果两个电力的信号是相反的,那么电力将有一个负的信号,而力量是吸引人的。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1  
    ::例1

    Object A has a positive charge of 6.0 × 10 6   C . Object B has a positive charge of 3.0 × 10 6   C . If the distance between A and B is 0.030 m, what is the force on A?
    ::对象A的正电荷为6.0x10-6C。 对象B的正电荷为3.0x10-6C。 如果A和B之间的距离为0.030米,A的强度是多少?

      F e = K q 1 q 2 d 2 = ( 9.0 × 10 9   N m 2 / C 2 ) ( 6.0 × 10 6   C ) ( 3.0 × 10 6   C ) ( 0.030   m ) 2 = 180   N

    ::Fe=Kq1q2d2=(9.0×109 Nm2/C2)(6.0×10-6 C)(3.0×10-6 C)(0.030 m)2=180 N

    The positive sign of the force indicates the force is repulsive. This makes sense, because both objects have a positive charge.
    ::力量的正征兆表明力量是令人厌恶的。这有道理,因为两个物体都有正面攻击力。

    Example 2  
    ::例2

    In the sketch below, the charges are q 1 = 10.0 × 10 6   C ,   q 2 = 2.0 × 10 6   C , and q 3 = 6.0 × 10 6   C . Calculate the total force on q 2 .
    ::在下面的草图中,电荷是 q1=10.0×10-6 C,q2=2.0×10-6 C,和q3=6.0×10-6 C。 计算 q2 的总力。

    Sketch illustrating charges and electric field vectors related to Coulomb's law.


    F e = K q 1 q 2 d 2 = ( 9.0 × 10 9   N m 2 / C 2 ) ( 10.0 × 10 6   C ) ( 2.0 × 10 6   C ) ( 2.0   m ) 2 = 0.045   N   ( towards   q 3 )
    ::Fe=Kq1q2d2=(9.0×109 Nm2/C2)(10.0×10-6 C)(2.0×10-6 C)(2.0m)2=0.045 N(向上Q3)

    F e = K q 2 q 3 d 2 = ( 9.0 × 10 9   N m 2 / C 2 ) ( 2.0 × 10 6   C ) ( 6.0 × 10 6   C ) ( 4.0   m ) 2 = 0.007   N   ( towards   q 3 )
    ::Fe=Kq2q3d2=(9.0×109 Nm2/C2)(2.0×10-6 C)(-6.0×10-6 C)(400米)20.007 N(向上Q3)

    Since the two forces act in the same direction, their absolute values can be added together; the total force on q 2   is 0.052 N towards q 3 .
    ::由于两支部队朝着同一方向行动,它们的绝对值可以加在一起;在q2上的总兵力为0.052 N对Q3。
