Question

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

As the charge increases, the force becomes more attractive.

As the charge increases, the force becomes more negative.

As the charge increases, the force decreases in strength.

As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.

Answer 1

As the charge increases, the force increases in strength.

Explanation: By Coulomb’s law, F = k |q1 q2| / r^2, so the magnitude of the electric force grows as the product of the charges increases (the sign of the charges only determines attraction vs. repulsion).
