What happens to the force between two charges if the distance between them is halved and doubled?
The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.
What happens to the force between two charges if the distance between them is decreased?
In electrostatics, the electrical force between two charged objects is inversely related to the distance of separation between the two objects. And decreasing the separation distance between objects increases the force of attraction or repulsion between the objects.
What happens to the force between two charges if the distance between them tripled?
The force between the two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely to the square of the distance between them. Hence, if charge on q1 is tripled (and other charge and distance is kept constant, the force between the two charges is tripled.
What happens to the force between two charges if the distance between the?
According to Coulomb’s law, the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. If the distance between two charges is reduced by half then the force between the two charges is quadrupled.
How does the force between the two point charges change if the distance between the charge is halved and also each charge is halved?
The force between the two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Hence, if distance between charges is halved (charges remaining kept constant), the force between the two charges is quadrupled.
When the distance between two objects is doubled the gravitational force will?
If distance between the two bodies is doubled, then the gravitational force between them will become one -fourth.
What is the relationship between distance and gravitational force?
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.
