...charges are of a contrary sign attract each other. The attraction or repulsion of two charged bodies is proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (Coulomb). Calling the charges qq', and the distance between them d, the force/ is given... | |

...obtained the result that the mutual attraction or repulsion of two conductors of linear dimensions small in comparison with the distance between them is directly proportional to the product of their charges when the distance is maintained the same. This connection between force and amount of... | |

...The force between two quantities a«<l of electricity (supposed each concentrated at a point) 1 ' is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the second power of the distance between them. If the charges are unlike the mutual force is an attraction,... | |

...charges of the same kind repel, two charges of opposite kinds attract ; the repulsion or attraction is proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The action between two charges is action at a distance taking place across... | |

...and unlike charges attract. The mutual action of two charges of static electricity upon each other is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The latter law may be put in the form of an equation ; thus F = — , in... | |
