magnitude of the charges.
distance between the charges.
square of the distance between the charges.
permittivity of free space.
3. The SI unit of electric charge is the .
4. A material that allows electric charge to move freely through it is called a(n) .
5. The region around an electric charge where another charge would experience a force is known as an electric .
