While these rules may seem relatively simple, they are extremely powerful in describing how charges interact with one another, and you can use these rules to check your mathematical solution or reason conceptually about a problem. For example, if you only have two positive charges, but your math says they are moving toward each other, then you know that you have missed a negative sign in your equations. | While these rules may seem relatively simple, they are extremely powerful in describing how charges interact with one another, and you can use these rules to check your mathematical solution or reason conceptually about a problem.
