Step 1
Step 2: Recall Coulomb's Law, which describes the electrostatic force between two point charges. The formula for the electrostatic force F is given by: $F = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2}$ where: - F is the magnitude of the electrostatic force between the charges. - k Show more…

Point charges Q1 = 1 nC and Q2 = 2 nC are at a distance apart. Which of the following statements are incorrect? Select one or more: a. The force on Q2 is along the line joining them. b. As the distance between them decreases, the force on Q1 increases linearly. c. A point charge Q3 = - 3 nC located at the midpoint between Q1 and Q2 experiences no net force. d. The force on Q1 is repulsive. e. The force on Q2 is the same in magnitude as that on Q1.

Below are two charges q1 and q2 some distance apart. q1 = +40 uC q2 = -20 uC If we replace q2 with a -40 uC charge, how does the E-field due to q1 at the location of q2 change? [Select] If we replace q2 with a -40 uC charge, how does the Coulomb force exerted by q1 on q2 change? [Select] It triples in magnitude only. It reverses direction only. It triples in magnitude and reverses direction. It does not change. It doubles in magnitude and reverses direction. There will no longer be a Coulomb force. It doubles in magnitude only.

Two particles with charges $Q$ and 2$Q$ repel one another. How does the electric force acting on the particle with charge $Q$ compare with the force acting on the particle with charge 2$Q ?$ (A) The force on charge $Q$ is 1$/ 4$ th of the force acting on charge 2$Q$ . (B) The force on charge $Q$ is 1$/ 2$ of the force on charge 2$Q$ . (C) The force on charge $Q$ is the same as the force on charge 2$Q$ . (D) The force on charge Q is twice as large as the force on charge 2$Q$ . (E) The force on charge $Q$ is four times larger than the force on charge 2$Q$ .
