State coulombs law a capacitor stores

Physics

ScanSolve AI Answer

Coulomb's Law states that the electrostatic force (FF) between two point charges (q1q_1 and q2q_2) is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (rr) between them. The force acts along the line joining the two charges.

F=k∣q1q2∣r2F = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2}

where kk is Coulomb's constant (k≈8.987×109 N⋅m2/C2k \approx 8.987 \times 10^9 \text{ N}\cdot\text{m}^2/\text{C}^2).

A capacitor stores electric charge and electrical potential energy in an electric field between its plates.
