Consider the electric force between a pair of charged particles a certain

distance apart. By Coulomb's Law:
If the charge of one of the particles is doubled, the force is:
(unchanged), (halved), (doubled), (quadrupled)

Answer:

Doubled

Step-by-step explanation:

F = (kq1q2) / r^2

F and q (Either q1 or q2) are directly proportional, so double the charge would also double the electruc force between the charges.
