Question

Which of the following changes would increase the force between twocharged particles to 9 times the original force?A. Increasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 3B. Decreasing the amount of charge on one of the particles by afactor of 9C. Increasing the amount of charge on each particle by a factor of 9D. Decreasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 3SUBMIT

Answer 1

The formula for calculating the force between two charged particles is expressed as

F = kq1q2/r^2

where

F is the forck is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the magnitude of the charges

r is the distance between the charged bodies
