Electric force
What is the magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects determined by?
Distance between the objects
What happens to the electric force between two charged objects if the distance between them is doubled?
It halves
Match the following terms with their definitions:
Electric force = Force responsible for the attraction or repulsion between electrically charged objects Magnitude of electric force = Determined by the charge on the two objects and the distance between them Doubling the distance = Effect on the electric force between two charged objects
Study Notes
Electric Force
- The electric force is responsible for the attraction or repulsion between electrically charged objects.
- The magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects is determined by the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
- If the distance between two charged objects is doubled, the electric force between them will be reduced to a quarter of its original value.
Test your knowledge about the electric force and its effects on charged objects. Discover the force responsible for attraction or repulsion between charged objects, learn how the magnitude of electric force is determined, and find out what happens to the force if the distance between objects is doubled.
