Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the distance between two point charges is doubled while the size of the charges remains the same the force between the charges is multiplied by 2.

The size of the force varies inversely to 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.

If the distance between two point charges remains constant while the size of one of the charges is doubled, the force between the charges is multiplied by ___________.
