Question on magnetic attraction and repulsion?

In summary, the conversation discusses the existence of a formula or equation to find the acceleration of two charged particles, taking into account field intensity and mass. The conversation also mentions Coulomb's law as a possible solution.

This is going to be quite hard to phrase but here goes.

Is there a formula/equation to find the acceleration of two of the same-charge particles, away from each other, taking into account field intensity and mass?

And the same question for attraction between two oppositely charged particles?

Thanks.

Oh sorry, I am! Thanks, this is just what I was looking for.
 

FAQ: Question on magnetic attraction and repulsion?

What is magnetic attraction?

Magnetic attraction is the force by which one magnet attracts another. This attraction is caused by the interaction of magnetic fields between the two magnets.

How does magnetic attraction work?

Magnetic attraction occurs when the magnetic field of one magnet aligns with the magnetic field of another magnet, creating a force that pulls the two magnets together.

What is magnetic repulsion?

Magnetic repulsion is the force by which two magnets push away from each other. This occurs when the magnetic fields of the two magnets are oriented in opposite directions.

What causes magnetic repulsion?

Magnetic repulsion is caused by the interaction of the magnetic fields of two magnets. When the two magnetic fields are oriented in opposite directions, they repel each other.

Can magnetic attraction and repulsion be explained by the laws of physics?

Yes, magnetic attraction and repulsion can be explained by the laws of physics, specifically the laws of electromagnetism. These laws describe how electrically charged particles, such as electrons, interact with magnetic fields to create attractive or repulsive forces.
