When the separation distance between a pair of ions is doubled, the electrical force between them decreases by a factor of 4. This is because the electrical force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

What energy transfers take place in an electrical cell?

In an electrical cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy through a chemical reaction between the electrodes and the electrolyte. This electrical energy can then be used to power devices connected to the cell.


How is the electric force between two positive charges changed if the distance between the charges is tripled?

The electric force between the two positive charges will decrease by a factor of 9 (3 squared) when the distance between the charges is tripled. This is because the electric force follows an inverse square law with distance - meaning it decreases as the square of the distance between the charges increases.


Does increase in distance of separation between electrode increases conductivity of an electrolyte?

By definition, the conductivity of an electrolyte is going to be a constant value dependendent on a specific distance between electrodes, when measured. If you allow the distance between electrodes to vary, thus changing the definition of Conductivity, then the value of whatever you call this 'new thing' will DECREASE, as the distance increases, while all else remains equal.Suppose it takes 60 volts AC to create a 1 amp current flow through the electrolyte with the electrodes 1 inch apart. Then you move the electrodes 2 inches apart and it takes 120 volts AC to get the same 1 amp current flow. The farther apart the electrodes are, the greater the voltage required to recreate the same 1 amp current flow. The electrolyte has not changed physically or chemically, so its actual Conductivity has not changed, but that 'new thing' you defined above has changed.


The loudness of sound can be changed by?

adjusting the amplitude of the sound wave, increasing or decreasing the energy of the sound source, or changing the distance between the listener and the source of the sound.

How can gravity be changed by distance?

Force = G(m1m2)/r2As you see the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the distance between two objects. So, make the distance between the two objects measured for their gravitational force greater and the force of gravity will become weaker.
