Question

By what factor will the electrostatic force between two charged objects change when the amount of charge on one object doubles?

Answer 1

The electrostatic force between two charge doubles when when the amount of charge on one object doubles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Force between two charge particle
`F=(1)/(4\pi\epsilon ) (q_1\cdot\ q_2)/(r^(2) )`

Where,
`(1)/(4\pi\epsilon ) = constant`

`q_1,q_2\ magnitude\ of\ charges.\\r\ is\ the\ distance\ between\ the\ particles.`

Now suppose as per the question

`q_1= 2 q_1\ with\ q_2\ and\ r\ with\ same\ value.\\Hence\ force\ between\ the\ particle\ F_2 =2 F`

Hence, electrostatic force between two charge doubles when when the amount of charge on one object doubles.
