F = (k*q1*q2)/r2

100

Arrows point towards the charge. 

What is a negative charge? 

200
Has positive charge

What is a proton? 

200

Experiment where alpha particles were shot at a thin sheet of gold. 

What is the gold foil experiment? 

200

Uses friction to create imbalance of charge. 

What is the movement of electrons to and from neutral objects? 

200

What is the relationship between force and distance? 

 Inversely related to the square
