how to calculate the electric force of an object in matlab

To calculate the electric force of an object in MATLAB, first, we need to know the two charges' magnitude and location information. Then, we can use Coulomb's Law to calculate the electric force.

The formula for electric force between two charges is given as:

F = K * Q1 * Q2 / r^2

Where,

• F = Electric Force
• K = Coulomb's constant (~9 x 10^9 N(m/C)^2)
• Q1 and Q2 = magnitudes of two charges in Coulombs
• r = distance between two charges in meters

We can use this formula to calculate the electric force of an object in MATLAB:

main.m
% Define the magnitudes and locations of the charges
Q1 = 3.5; % in Coulombs
Q2 = 2.8; % in Coulombs

r = 0.05; % distance between two charges in meters

% Calculate the electric force using Coulomb's Law
k = 9e9; % Coulomb's constant
F = k .* Q1 .* Q2 ./ r.^2; % Electric Force

% Display the output
disp(['The electric force between the two charges is ', num2str(F), ' N']);

Note: In the above example, we assume that the charges are point charges (i.e., they do not have any physical dimensions). If the charges have physical dimensions, we need to use the Coulomb's Law formula for continuous charge distributions, and the calculation becomes a bit more complicated.
