Question
(II) Two charged spheres are 8.45 $\mathrm{cm}$ apart. They are moved, and the force on each of them is found to have been tripled. How far apart are they now?
Step 1
Mathematically, this can be written as: \[ F \propto \frac{1}{r^2} \] where \( F \) is the force and \( r \) is the distance between the spheres. Show more…

(II) Two charged spheres are 8.45$\mathrm { cm }$ apart. They are moved, and the force on each of them is found to have been tripled. How far apart are they now?
Two charged spheres are $8.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ apart. They are moved closer to each other by enough that the force on each of them increases four times. How far apart are they now?
