Two charges are shown on the screen along with vectors representing the forces on each charge. You can click-drag on any charge to change its position. You can also change the charge on each object. Find an equation for the force on one of the charges.
q1= charge on object1 and q2= charge on object2. The position is in cm, force is in Newtons, while charge is in Coulombs. On a 17 inch screen the distance scale is approximately accurate
