Asked by Avery Williams

The table shows electric force between objects in two different interactions:

Interaction Charge on Object 1 Charge on Object 2 Amount of Force
A +1 -2 weak
B +1 +2 strong
Which conclusion about the interactions is correct?
A. Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.
B. Positive charges are stronger than negative charges.
C. The objects in Interaction A are smaller than in interaction B.
D. The objects in interaction A are farther apart than in interaction B.

D.

Both interactions have the same magnitude of charge product (|1×2| = 2), so if they were the same distance apart the forces would be equal. Since B is stronger, the objects in A must be farther apart. Options A, B and C are not supported by the data.
