Question

When the distance between two charges I no halved, the electric force between the charges

A) quadruples
B) doubles
C) is half
D) is reduced by one quarter

Answer 1

Answer:

A)quadruples

Explanation:

The force between the two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Hence, if distance between charges is halved (charges remaining kept constant), the force between the two charges is quadrupled

Answer 2

Answer is A) quadruples
