Charging by friction, contact, and induction

Does the measured electric force follow an inverse-square distance model? Useful evidence includes force and separation data, competing fits, residuals, uncertainty, and a stated range of validity.

This GioPhysics course map is an adaptable learning sequence, not academic credit, accreditation, or a universal university syllabus. Departments may redistribute weeks, laboratory hours, optics, or the modern-physics survey to match local requirements.

Departments may redistribute weeks, laboratory hours, optics, or the modern-physics survey to match local requirements. Thermal physics appears as an unnumbered institutional extension: some universities assess it within Physics II, while others teach it in a separate course, so include the thermal extensions only where the local syllabus requires them. A result should be checked against units, signs, limiting cases, and the conditions under which its model was derived.
