Step 1
Step 1: The strength of the electric field at a distance from a point charge is given by the equation E = kQ/r^2, where k is the Coulomb's constant, Q is the charge, and r is the distance from the charge. Show more…

What is the strength of the electric field at twice the distance from a point charge? a. 4 times its original value b. 1/4 of its original value c. 2 times its original value d. 1/2 its original value

According to Coulomb's law, if the charge on each one of a pair of charged particles is quadrupled (increased by a factor of 4), the electric force between them will be: a. (1/2) its original value b. (1/4) its original value c. (1/8) its original value d. (1/16) its original value none of these (16 times its original value).
