* Force (F) = k * (q1 * q2) / r²
Where:
* F is the electric force in Newtons (N)
* k is Coulomb's constant (approximately 8.98755 × 10⁹ N⋅m²/C²)
* q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges in Coulombs (C)
* r is the distance between the charges in meters (m)
In summary:
* The force itself is measured in Newtons (N).
* The unit of electric charge is Coulombs (C).
* The unit of distance is meters (m).
Keep in mind that electric current is the flow of electric charge, and the force driving that flow is calculated using the principles of electromagnetism and Coulomb's Law.
