Question

A point charge Q is located a short distance from a point charge 3Q, and no other charges are present. If the electrical force on Q is F, what is the electrical force on 3Q?a. 3Fb. √3Fc. F/√3d. Fe. F/3

Answer 1

the correct answer is F i just took the test and it was right.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

d) F

Step-by-step explanation:

According to columb's law:

"The magnitude of electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of two charges and inversly proportional to separation between them."

If q₁ and q₂ are magnitude of two charges, d is distance between them and k is dielectric constant, then force F is given by

`F=(kq_(1)q_(2))/(d^2)`

According to this force exerted on point charge Q is same as that of 3Q, so force point 3Q charge experience is also F
