Question

How does the electric force between two charged particles change if the

distance between them is reduced by a factor of 2?
A. It is reduced by a factor of 4.
B. It is reduced by a factor of 2.
C. It is increased by a factor of 4.
ОО
D. It is increased by a factor of 2.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If the distance is reduced by factor of 2, lets say the distance was 10cm

reducing by a factor of 2 will leave the distance at 5cm

so the electric force increases by a factor of 2
