An object with a charge of +1 C is 10 mm from an object with a charge of +1 C. Based on the data in the table, which type and amount of electrical force will there most likely be between the two objects?

(1 point)

repulsive, weak

attractive, strong

attractive, weak

repulsive, strong

Answer 1

To determine the type and amount of electrical force between two objects with a charge of +1 C each, we can use Coulomb's Law, which states that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

In this scenario, both objects have a charge of +1 C:

- Since both charges are the same (+1 C), they will exert a **repulsive** force on each other.
- The magnitude of the force can also be evaluated (though not directly with the information provided in the table). Given that the table indicates strong forces for similar charges at shorter distances (like the distances listed for charges of +1 with another charge of +1), we could infer that the distance of 10 mm (or 1 cm) would still likely provide a strong repulsive force.

Considering the options provided:

1. **repulsive, weak**
2. **attractive, strong**
3. **attractive, weak**
4. **repulsive, strong**

The most likely choice is **repulsive, strong**.
