How does the magnitude of the electrical charge on objects affect the electric force between them?(1 point)

Question

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

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

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 statement is:

As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.

According to Coulomb's Law, the electric force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the magnitude of the charge on either object increases, the electric force between them also increases.
