If you double the distance between two objects, the electric force is _____.A. one half as strong

B. doubled

C. one fourth as strong

D. quadrupled

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

decreases one fourth of the original value.

Explanation:

according to coulomb's law the electrostatic force of attraction and repulsion magnitude is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to their distance (square distance).

So increases in distance between two charges results in decrease of electric force between two charges.

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

C. one fourth as strong

Explanation:

Electric force is indirectly proportional to the square of the distance, so if you double the distance, electric force is = 1/2^2 = 1/4

In short, Your Answer would be: Option C

Hope this helps!

What is the fundamental frequency of a particular medium?. a.the lowest frequency at which a standing wave is possible. b. the highest frequency at which s standing wave is possible

Answers

The correct answer is definitely A) the lowest frequency at which a standing wave is possible. I choose this option because standing can occur only at a fundamental frequency and at odd harmonics --> the lowest frequence.
