The force between two objects, each of charge +Q is measured as +F when the objects are separated a distance d apart. If the charge on each object is doubled, determine the new force between them:

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]F'=4F[/tex]

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the force (F) between two  objects  with the same charge(+Q), separated a distance (d) apart, is defined as:

[tex]F=\frac{kQ^2}{d^2}[/tex]

Here k is the Coulomb constant. The charge on each object is doubled, that is [tex]Q'=2Q[/tex]:

[tex]F'=\frac{kQ'^2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{k(2Q)^2}{d^2}\\F'=4\frac{kQ^2}{d^2}\\F'=4F[/tex]

Answer:

4F
