How would Coulomb's Law be written if the charge of an electron was instead defined as positive and the proton as negative?F = -kQq/r2F = kQq/r2F = -kQ/r2F = kq/r2

Answer :

Given,

Electron are positive and the charge can be considered as q.

Proton are negative and the charge can be considered as -Q.

Thus the coloumb's law is

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=k\frac{q(-Q)}{r^2} \\ \Rightarrow F=-k\frac{qQ}{r^2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is:

[tex]F=-k\frac{qQ}{r^2}[/tex]
