Question

Imagine an isolated positive point charge Q (many times larger than the charge on a single proton). There is a charged particle A (whose charge is much smaller than charge Q) at a distance from the point charge Q. On which of the following quantities does the magnitude of the electric force on this charged particle A depend:_____.

1. the size and shape of the point charge Q
2. the specific location of the point charge Q (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)
3. the mass of the charged particle A
4. the size and shape of the charged particle A
5. the distance between the point charge Q and the charged particle A
6. the type of charge on the charged particle A
7. the mass of the point charge Q
8. the amount of the charge on the point charge Q
9. the magnitude of charge on the charged particle A
10. the specific location of the charged particle A (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)
11. the relative orientation between Q and A (while the distance between Q and A is fixed)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force on this charged particle A depends upon the following

5. the distance between the point charge Q and the charged particle A

8. the amount of the charge on the point charge Q

9. the magnitude of charge on the charged particle A
