If the distance between two equal point ...

If the distance between two equal point charges is doubled and their individual charges are also doubled, what would happen to the force between them?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`F=1/(4pi epsilon_(0))(qxq)/r^(2)` …(i) Again, `F'=1/(4pi epsilon_(0))((2q)(2q))/((2r)^(2))` or `F'=1/(4pi epsilon_(0))(4q^(2))/(4r^(2))=1/(4pi epsilon_(0)) q^(2)/r^(2)=F`
So, the force will remain the same.
