Electric Force between Point Charges
 

Electric Force between Point Charges problem 27


  • State Coulomb’s law.


  • Positronium is a system in which an electron and a positron orbit, with the same period, around their common centre of mass, as shown in the figure below.




    The radius of the orbit of both particles is . Explain how the electric force between the electron and the positron causes the path of the moving particles to be circular.
