If one of a pair of charges is quadrupled and the distance between them
doesn't change, then the electrostatic force between them is also quadrupled.
charge will be suspended it will not have any direction
The strength of the electrostatic force depends on the electric charge. If you have a block of cobalt - or of just about any other material for that matter - you can put a positive charge, a negative charge, or no charge on it; and the charge can be large or small.
Electrostatic charge.
Two particles of the same charge will experience an electrostatic repulsive force. Specifically, the force is given by Coulomb's Law.
From an electric field vector at one point, you can determine the direction of the electrostatic force on a test charge of known sign at that point. You can also determine the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted per unit charge on a test charge at that point.

If the distance between the centers of the charged bodies doesn't change during all of that activity, the force between them increases by 20 times.
Two oppositely charged particles (electron: - charge, proton: + charge) create an attractive electrostatic force described by Coulomb's Law. More info of the physics behind it at the related link.
An electrostatic charge, that is one not caused by a flow of current
Electrostatic Force are non-contact force.
Electrostatic Force are non-contact force.
Static electricity is a non contact force because : Whether an object is charged by conduction or induction or even by friction they acquire a charge and the objects acquire opposite charge in induction and friction but same charge in conduction. So when the charged body is brought near an uncharged body if they have opposite charge they will be attracted towards the charged body due to the movement of ionic particles.
