Respuesta :
Two charged objects, A and B, exert an electric force on each other. What happens if the distance between them is increased? a) the charge on B decreases b) the charge on B increases c) the electric force between them decreases d) the electric force between them increses
Answer: option c) the electric force between them decreases.
Explanation:
The electric force that two charged objects exert on each other follows Coulomb's law: the electric force is proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separate the charges.
Mathematically, that is:
- Fe = K q₁ q₂ / d²
Hence, you conclude that if the distance between the charges is increased, the electric force will decrease.
