F=3,4525E22
Converts inches to
centimeters.
Stores R, calculates F.
Example: Coulomb's Law. Calculate the force of attraction between
an electron (charge = -1.6022 x 10
-19
C) and an alpha particle
that are 2 angstroms apart.
(An
alpha particle is positively charged;
the magnitude of the charge is twice that of an electron. 1 angstrom
= 10-
10
m.)
