Question

Which factors affect the strength of the electric force between two objects

Answer 1

-- the product of the net charges on the objects;. -- the distance between the centers of their net charges. (Pretty much identical to the formula for gravitational force)

Answer 2

By definition, the electric force is given by:

`image`

Where,

q1: electric charge of object number 1.

q2: electric charge of object number 2.

d: distance between both objects

k: proportionality constant

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric force is affected by:

1) The product of the charges of the objects

2) The distance between objects

Answer:

The factors that affect strength of the electric force between two objects are:

1) The product of the charges of the objects

2) The distance between objects
