For my senior year, the school sprang for a FORTRAN compiler to run on the business office NCR computer. My job was to run the students punch-card decks through the computer during the business office lunch hour. Spent an interim month learning to use FORTRAN as a language usage analysis tool, under tutelage of a Classic Languages professor.
electric forces can be attractive or repulsive, whereas gravitational forces are only attractive.
Calculating The Electric Force Using Coulomb's Law. The strength of the electric force between any two charged objects depends on the amount of charge that each object contains and on the distance between the two charges. As the amount of charge gets bigger, the force gets bigger, and as the distance between the two charges gets larger, the force gets smaller.
