Which of the following changes would double the force between two charged particles?
A. Doubling the amount of charge on each particle
B. Increasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 2
C. Decreasing the distance between the particles by a factor of 2
D. Doubling the amount of charge on one of the particles

Respuesta :

Answer:

Doubling the amount of charge on one of the particles.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by :

[tex]F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Where

r is the distance between charges

or

[tex]F\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}[/tex]

On doubling the charge on one of the particle,

F' = 2F

So, the force gets doubled. Hence, the correct option is (d).
