Question

What will happen to the 0.1 N force if one charges is increased by a factor of 3?

The electric force between two charged objects is 0.10 N what will be the new force if the charge on one of the objects us made one fourth as large? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Force between two charges is given by the following expression

F =
`(KQ_1Q_2)/(d^2)` Q₁ and Q₂ are two charges and d is distance between two.

.1 =
`(KQ_1Q_2)/(d^2)`

If Q₁ becomes three times , force will become 3 times . Hence force becomes .3 N in the first case.

Force F = .3 N

If charge becomes one fourth , force also becomes one fourth .

F=
`(.1)/(4)`

= .025 N.
