Repelling Conductors with Charge? Part 1
Note: this post will soon be updated with diagrams, thank you for your patience! 1. Background Opposites attract, likes repel. Straight off the first page of Electrostatics 101, this forms the ground rule for all basic interactions between charged objects. We can be more precise: the exact force between two objects with charges and separated by a distance of equals This is known as Coulomb’s Law. Here, is an important physical constant related to how well electric field…
