- The electric force between two charged particles is inversely proportional to the square distance between them.
- Accordingly, it is reduced by a factor of 9

∙ 14y agoIf the distance between the charges is tripled, the electric force starts to become weaker. For example, when you hold 2 of the same magnets (2 positive magnets) or even 2 opposite magnets (positive and negative) closer to one another, the electric force gets stronger. For the 2 positive magnets, you would have a stronger push when you try to put them together. When you have 2 opposite magnets, the magnetic force forces them to get closer to one another. When you start to pull them farther apart, the electric force becomes weaker.

∙ 7y agoThe force obeys an inverse-square law. That means that if you change the distance by a factor of 2, the force changes by a factor of (1/2) squared, or 1/4. The new force will be 1/4 the previous force.

Is it possible to have zero electric field value between a negative and positive charges along the line joining the two charges?
no, the charge would have to be of equal sign to achieve this.
What is difference between between electric dipole moment and magnetic dipole moment?
Magnetic dipole is due to two poles of magnet. Electric dipole is due to +ve and -ve charges of electric charges.
Is an electric charge a property of just electricity or is charge a property of all atoms?
Atoms contain both positive (protons) and negative (electrons) electric charges. But in the vast majority of atoms these positive and negative electric charges balance, canceling and resulting in zero total electric charge. When electrons detach from atoms we generate electricity. Where there are fewer electrons there is a positive charge. Where there are more electrons there is a negative charge. When two places have different charges we get an electric voltage. When electrons flow from a negatively charged place to a positively charged place we get an electric current.
What true about the force between charges?
The force between charges decreases as the distance between them increases. Like charges repel each other. Oppostite charges attract each other
An atom differs in electric charge from what?
A neutral atom differs in charge from a positive or negative ion.
How is the electric force between two positive charges changed if the distance between the charges is tripled?
It is reduced to one ninth. Force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
What is the difference between positive and negative electric fields?
Positive electric fields attract negative charges while negative electric fields attract positive charges.
What is the relationship between positive and negative electric charges?
The relationship between positive and negative electric charges is in their number of electrons. This causes them to be attracted or repel each other based on this charge.
How the electric force between two positive charges changes if the amount of one charge is tripled?
The force is also tripled. (Provided the charges don't move, so the distance between them doesn't change.)
When the distance between two charges is halved the electric force between the charges?
The forces in each direction are quadrupled.
A negatively charged object is placed within a positive electric field. what happens to the object?
Electric Field between positive and negative charges. If the Electric Field in which both the positive and negative charges are present is stronger than the Electric Field between the two charges we are talking about, the the negative charge will move away from the positive charge in that positive direction of the field. If not, then the negative charge will get attracted to the positive charge and stay at the position of the positive charge. It will be pulled toward the source of the electric field. (Novanet)
Two point charges q1 and q2 are located a distance r apart in a vacuum Which change to the charges will halve the magnitude of the electric charge between them?
Hello, some error in the words. Electric "force" not electric charge. A/s we increase the distance between the charges ./2 times then force between them will be halved.
What two factors determine the amount of electric force between two objects?
The product of the two charges and the distance between the charges.
What is the direction of electric field?
This question is impossible to answer because the force is dependant on the strength of the electric field. This will depend on how many other charges there are and how far away. The strength of an electric field is proportional to the number of charges and the inverse square of the distance. Strength of field = C x N / D2 where C is some constant, N is the number of charges (-ve will repel +ve will attract for and electron) and D is the distance between the electron and the charges creating the field.
What does the Electric Force between two charged objects depend on A Their masses and their separation B Their speeds C their charge and their separation D their masses and their charge?
Well, an electric force can be attractive or repulsive and it is the STRONGEST force in nature. And to feel this force, small changes might be involved.So, the question is: The Electric Force between two charged objects depends on which of the following?A) Their masses and their separationB) Their speedsC) their charge and their separationD) their masses and their chargeAnswer: C) Their charge and their separation.Why? Because the force between electric charges depends on the distance between charges (the force decreases as the charges get farther apart) and it depends on the force the electric charges exert on each other. And negative charge and positive charge do attract but positive and positive charge don't attract and negative and negative don't attract.
What atom has no balance between positive and electric charges?
No atom can have an imbalance in its charge; if it did, it would be an ion.
What do electric fields start with?
Electric fields start on positive charges and terminate on negative charges..
