Given two positively charged particles, of equal magnitude, separated by a distance, "d". What will happen to the force field between the two particles when "d" is halved

Respuesta :

dont listen to them on usatestprep its c increase by a factor of four

Answer:

C) increase by a factor of four

Explanation:

Electric fields, as well as charged particles, obey the law of attraction: opposite charges attract, like charges repel. Two positive particles would repel. If the distance between the particles is cut in half, the force field would increase by a factor of four. The electric field strength is inversely related to the square of the distance: "d" decreases by a factor of 2; multiply the original force by 4.
