Does the trend in the F vs r graph correspond to what you should expect from Coulomb’s Law? (b) Of the three relationships (F vs 1/r, F vs 1/r^2, or F vs 1/r^3), which one gives the best linear relationship? Use your linear trendline and R^2 values as evidence. (c) Assuming the F vs 1/r^2 relationship is a linear relationship, use Coulomb’s Law (Equation) to find an expression of the slope of the graph of FEvs 1/r^2. The expression should be in terms of constants (i.e. not r or FE). What should be the units of the slope of the graph?

(a)  Does the trend in the F vs r graph correspond to what you should expect from Coulomb’s Law?

(b) Of the three relationships (F vs 1/r, F vs 1/r^2, or F vs 1/r^3), which one gives the best linear relationship? Use your linear trendline and R^2 values as evidence.

(c) Assuming the F vs 1/r^2 relationship is a linear relationship, use Coulomb’s Law (Equation) to find an expression of the slope of the graph of FEvs 1/r^2. The expression should be in terms of constants (i.e. not r or FE). What should be the units of the slope of the graph?

(d) Using the expression you derived for the slope of the graph and the numerical slope you got from the trendline of the FE vs 1/r^2 graph, find the value of ke. Compare it with the theoretical value of ke.??=|?????―??ℎ????| /??ℎ????  × 100You should not just “plug in” a pair of data points and use an equation.

(e) Does Coulomb’s Law seem to be a good model for the electric interaction between two point charges? Use your data and analysis as evidence. Regardless of your response, give sources of uncertainty and error in this experiment.
