Question

When two charges (q1 and q2) are held a distance d apart from each other, each exerts a force of magnitude F on the other. (a) If one of the charge's magnitude is quadrupled and the distance between the charges is increased by a factor of 6, what will be the new magnitude of the force exerted by one charge on the other (as a multiple of F)? (b) If both of the charge's magnitudes are quadrupled and the distance between the charges is increased by a factor of 6, what will be the new magnitude of the force exerted by one charge on the other (as a multiple of F)?

Explanation / Answer

a. 1/9*F b. 4/9 *F
