Question

which statement best explains the relationship between electric force and the charges on two interacting objects? a. electrical force is directly proportional to the product of the charges on the two objects. b. electrical force is inversely proportional to the product of the charges on the objects. c. electrical force is inversely proportional to the product of the squares of the charges on the two objects. d. electrical force is directly proportional to the product of the squares of the charge on the two objects.

Answer 1

A. Electric force is directly proportional to the product of the charges on the two objects

Answer 2

Answer:

a. electrical force is directly proportional to the product of the charges on the two objects

Explanation:

Electrical forces is given by the equation:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the charges on the two objects

r is the separation between the two objects

As we can see from the formula, F (the electrical forces) is directly proportional to the product between the two charges (q1 and q2), so the correct answer is

a. electrical force is directly proportional to the product of the charges on the two objects
