In the above case, if only one of the two charges were allowed to move, we could still use the same equation (although the charge separation r would change in time). The free charge would move according to Newton's law; its acceleration limited by its mass. If the 1 coulomb charge and the 1 trillion coulomb charge had the same mass, either would accelerate in the same way. (Note if both are allowed to move, then you have currents = no longer electrostatics) | |
