Does the mass of the objects you are charging influence the amount of electric force created in an electric field?

Step-by-step explanation:

Both gravitational and electric forces decrease with the square of the distance between the objects, and both forces act along a line between them. In Coulomb's law, however, the magnitude and sign of the electric force are determined by the electric charge, rather than the mass, of an object.
