Question

Which of the following would cause the electrical force between two objects to decrease? Select all that apply.a- increase the charge on one objectb- decrease the charge on one objectc- decrease the mass of one objectd- increase the distance between the objects' centerse- decrease the charge on both objects

Answer 1

According to Coulomb's law, the force of attraction or repulsion between 2 charged bodies is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Thus, the following options are correct

b- decrease the charge on one object

d- increase the distance between the objects' centers

e- decrease the charge on both objects
