Question 6 • Two Identical point charges (each +Q) exert a force F on each other. • One of the charges is then REPLACED with a +4Q charge. In the previous question, what is the magnitude of the NEW force on the +4Q charge? 2.5F F 0.25F 4F 2F 3F

Step 1
Coulomb's Law states that the magnitude of the force between two point charges is given by the equation: F = k * (Q1 * Q2) / r^2 where F is the magnitude of the force, k is the electrostatic constant (k = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2), Q1 and Q2 are the magnitudes of the Show more…

Charges $q$ and $Q$ attract one another with the electric force, $F_{E} .$ If the magnitude of both charges is doubled and the distance between the charges is also doubled, determine the new electric force acting on these charges. (A) $F_{E}$ (B) 2$F_{E}$ (C) 4$F_{E}$ (D) 8$F_{E}$ (E) 16$F_{E}$
Two point charges attract each other with an electric force of magnitude (F). If the charge on one of the particles (Q) is increased to (4Q) and the distance between the particles (d) is reduced to (d/2), what is the resulting magnitude of the electric force between them? Select one: a. 4F b. F/4 c. F/3 d. 16F e. F/8

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. We replace one of the objects with another whose net charge is +4Q. The original magnitude of the force on the +Q charge was F. What is the magnitude of the force on +Q now? 16 F 2F F/4 F 4F
