How does distance effect the electric force between two objects?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Electric force can act at a distance, but is stronger when objects are closer.
the electric force is larger the closer the two objects are
The electric force varies with the distance between the charges. The closer they are, the stronger the force. The farther apart they are, the weaker the force.

∙ 12y agoElectric force between two charged object varies inversely as the square of distance between them (Coulomb's Law). This means if two charged objects move away force between them decreases. For example: if distance between them is doubled then force becomes 1/4th of its initial value.
This is strictly valid for point charges only.
For extended charged body also force decreases as they move apart but it is not exactly in accordance with Coulomb's law.

∙ 9y agoThis was first observed by Coulomb and so we got Coulomb's law. The force between the charges is found to be
i) directly proportional to the product of the charges
ii) inversely proportional to the SQUARE of the distance between them

∙ 8y agoYou mean the force between charges?
As amount of charges increase then force also increases
As the distance is increased two times then force gets reduced by four times i.e. 2 square
So the force is inversely related to the square of the distance between the charges. This was stated by Coulomb and it is known as Coulomb's law

∙ 13y agoelectrical forces between charges are strongest when the charges are close together.

∙ 14y agoThe formula Force = q1q2zc/2r2 explains the relationship between electric force , charge q1q2 and distance r where z is the impedance of space and c is the speed of light.

How does distance between two objects affect the way they move?
If the objects are not tied together, and if the gravitational forces between them are negligible in their current environment, then the distance between them has no effect whatsoever on their motion.
Two factors that influence the pull of gravity?
The mass of the object exerting the gravitational pull, and the distance between the two objects. Gravity is all over, but it's effect varies greatly with distance. The girl next to you in Science class is actually exerting a greater gravitational pull on your mass than the Sun, despite their obvious differences in size.
What factors determine the surface gravity of a planet or a satellite?
The force of gravity as defined by newton isF= G*(M*m)/r2G is the gravitational constant. M and m are the masses of the two objects. r is the distance between the two objects. The thing that Newton could not explain was that the mass of an object used when determining gravity is the same as the mass for an object used in his famous F=ma. This phenomenon was later explained by Einstein with his Theory of General Relativity.The mass, distance from the source (planet). The formula for gravity is force equals the gravitational constant (G) time the result of Mass one times Mass two divided by the distance between the two objects (r) squared.
Is gravity a contact or non-contact force?
Non-contact. Gravity can effect objects separated by hundreds of millions of light years -- which is why our galaxy is moving towards the Sharpley Super-cluster.
What two things effect the magnitude of gravity?
Mass & distance.
Does distance between objects effect the gravitational attraction between them?
Yes. At a greater distance, the gravitational attraction between two objects is less.
What effect does the distance between 2 objects have on gravity?
oscilation
What arethe factors that effect the gravitational force between two objects?
-- the masses of both objects -- the distance between their centers
What are two factors that effect the gravitational force between two objects?
Mass and distance.
Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?
If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.
Is the greater an objects velocity the stronger the gravitational force on it?
Gravitational forces between objects depend only on their masses and the distance between them. Velocity has no effect.
How does distance between two objects affect the way they move?
If the objects are not tied together, and if the gravitational forces between them are negligible in their current environment, then the distance between them has no effect whatsoever on their motion.
What makes gravity weaker?
effect of Gravity varies according to the masses of the two objects, and the distance between them
Mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects true or false?
This is false. The answer is that mass and distance affect the gravitational attraction between objects. Air resistance has no effect on this.
What effect would decreasing the distance between two objects have on the gravitational attraction to each other?
the force will remain the p
What 2 variables effect gravity?
The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
What is gravity's effect on motion?
Gravity pulls objects together and towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. Gravity will speed up objects falling towards the earth and slow down rising objects.
