two charged objects separated by some distance attract each other if the charges on both objects are doubled with no change in distance

Soru

Two charged objects separated by some distance attract each other If the charges on both objects are doubled with no change in distance between them. what happens to the magnitude of the force between the objects? The force between them remains unchanged The force between them is quartered The force between them also doubles The force between them quadruples The force between them is halved

## Step 1:The problem involves the concept of Coulomb's Law, which states that the force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This relationship is mathematically represented as:### where is the force, is Coulomb's constant, and are the charges, and is the distance between the charges.## Step 2:In this problem, the charges on both objects are doubled, but the distance between them remains the same. Therefore, the new force can be calculated by substituting and into the formula:### This shows that the new force is four times the original force.
