What determines the electric force between two charged objects?
-- the product of the magnitudes of the charges on the objects -- the distance between the 'center of charge' of the two objects
What is an electrostatic force of repulsion?
That's the force of repulsion between two positive charges; or between two negative charges.
How does the distance between 2 charges impact the force between them?
The electromagnetic force between two charges decreases at a rate inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What determine the direction of flow of charge?
Electro motive Force(E.M.F) of a battery determine the direction of Flow of Charges.
Two charges are separated by a distance d If one the charges is doubled while the other is tripled what happens to the force between the charges?
We have to assume that the distance between the charges remains constant, and the answer doesn't depend on the distance. The force between the charges is proportional to the product of the charges. Initial force = constant x (Q1) x (Q2) New force = constant x (2Q1) x (3Q2) = 6 x (Q1) x (Q2) = 6 times the initial force. The direction of the force doesn't change. It's attractive if the charges are of opposite sign, repulsive if they're of like sign.
When the distance between two charges is halved the electric force between the charges?
The forces in each direction are quadrupled.
What will be the effect on the force between two objects if the charges on both are doubled?
If the magnitude of each of two charges is doubled, then the direction of the force between them doesn't change, but its magnitude increases by a factor of 4.
What determines the electric force between two charged objects?
-- the product of the magnitudes of the charges on the objects -- the distance between the 'center of charge' of the two objects
What is the direction of electrostatic field?
The Force on a point charge from another point charge is along the Line connecting between the two charges. The direction will be towards the point charge if the two charges are different and away if they are same.Now if you collection of Charges then it is vector sum of force due to each charge.
What determines the force between two objects?
A push or a pull determines the force between the two objects
What determines the direction of the magnetic force on a moving charge?
The right hand grip rule. You point the thumb on your right hand in the direction of the electric current and curl your fingers. The direction of your fingers gives the direction of the lines of flux. It is undetermined what actually causes the induced charge to always be in this direction but it is probably a function of the electrons spin.
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
What is an electrostatic force of repulsion?
That's the force of repulsion between two positive charges; or between two negative charges.
Can The attractive force between two unlike charges has the same strength as the repulsive force between two like charges?
Yes if the quantities of the charges are unchanged.
The electric force between two charged objects as the distance between them increases and as the magnitudes of their charges increase.?
When the magnitude of the charges increase definitely electrostatic force also increases. Because the force is directly proportional to the product of their charges. When the distance between them increases then force decreases because the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.
How does the distance between 2 charges impact the force between them?
The electromagnetic force between two charges decreases at a rate inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is the force between charges called?
electro-static force
