Question

Responses

As the charge increases, the force becomes more negative.
As the charge increases, the force becomes more negative.

As the charge increases, the force becomes more attractive.
As the charge increases, the force becomes more attractive.

As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.
As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.

As the charge increases, the force decreases in strength.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.

According to Coulomb's Law, the electric force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Therefore, as the magnitude of the charges increases, the strength of the electric force also increases.
