公式

F = k × q₁ × q₂ / r², where k = 8.988×10⁹ N·m²/C², q₁ and q₂ are charges (C), r is distance (m).

常见问题

What is Coulomb's constant?
k = 8.988×10⁹ N·m²/C², also written as 1/(4πε₀). It determines the strength of the electrostatic force.
Is the force attractive or repulsive?
Like charges repel and opposite charges attract. This calculator gives the magnitude of the force.
Is this calculator free?
Yes, all OhMyCalc calculators are completely free.
