How do you think the electrostatic force between two objects would change if the distance between two objects was doubled?

The force between the two charges increases 16 times.
Coulomb's law equation states:
│F│ = ke │q1q2│/r2
Where (F) is the force acting simultaneously on both point charges (q1) and (q2).
r is the separation distance and ke is a proportionality constant called the Coulomb
constant.
Using above equation, if we double both charges and reduce the distance in half.
│F2│ = ke │(2q12q2)│/(r/2)2 = 16 ke │q1q2│/r2 = 16 │F│.
We see that the force turns out 16 times stronger

∙ 12y agoExactly like gravity, the electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square
of the distance between the two objects involved.
So if the distance between two charges is doubled, the force between them is
reduced by a factor of (2)2 = 4.

What happens to the electric force when two objects are separated by 1 meter and each has a positive charge when the distance between the objects is doubled?
The electric force will be quarter of its strength.
The force of gravitation between two objects is 500 Newtons. the mass of one of the bodies doubled what would the new force of gravitational attraction be?
1,000 newtons, provided the distance between them didn't change.
How is the gravitational force related to the distance between the objects?
its inversely proportional to the square of the distance between objects.
How is this gravitational attraction between two objects affected by the distance between them?
The greater distance between two objects affects the gravity by making it weak.
What is space in art?
the distance between objects
What happens to the strength of gravity when the distance is doubled?
When the distance between the centers of two objects is doubled, the gravitational forces between the objects are reduced by 75% .
Describe the relationship of electrostatic force between two charged objects?
The electrostatic force between two charged objects is inversely proportional to the distance of separation between the two objects. An Increase in the separation distance between objects decreases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects.
Does gravity decrease to one fourth its original value if the distance between 2 objects is doubled?
Yes.
Suppose that two objects with a gravitational force of 16 unit If the distance between the two objects is doubled what is the new force of attraction between the two objects?
The gravitational force between two objects is inverseley proportional to the square ofthe distance between them.If the distance is doubled, then the force falls to [ 1/22 = 1/4 ] of the original force.If the original force was 16 units, then the new force is (16/4) = 4 units after the distance doubles.
What two factors determine the size of the electrostatic force of attraction between two objects?
The quantity of charge on each object and the distance between them.
The force of gravitation between two objects is 500 Newtons what would be the force of gravitaion if the distance between these two objects increased by 10 times?
If the gravitational force decreases according to the square of the distance, then if the distance is doubled the force becomes one forth of what it was. So if you doubled the the distance between the two objects then they would have a gravitational force of 125 Newtons. That happens because 2 squared is 4 and 500 divided by 4 is 125.
What happens to the electric force when two objects are separated by 1 meter and each has a positive charge when the distance between the objects is doubled?
The electric force will be quarter of its strength.
How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the mass of one the objects is doubted?
If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
How does the electric force between two charged objects change if you double the distance between the objects?
The electric force between two charged objects is decreased by a factorof 4 if you double the distance between the objects, from the formulaF=(q1*q2)/(4*Pi*Eo*r^2).
How can build up of electrostatic charge be prevented?
Through the use of an earthing conductor, for example the black plastic strips that hang from the rear of a car.
What is the force between two charged objects?
Well you mean Coulomb's law, the equivalent of Newton's law for electrostatic?From Wikipedia:The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point electric charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of each of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the total distance between the two charges.
Determined by the distance between objects and the difference in mass between the objects?
The distance between objects and the different is 0. The distance between the mass and an object is 1.
