a) What is coulomb's law?
b) How does tripling one of the charges affect the force between two charged objects?
C) How does tripling the distance affect the force between two charged objects?
Coulomb's law states that the electrical force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of the quantity of charge on the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two objects.
F=k(Q1.Q2)/r2F=k(Q1.Q2)/r2
So as you increase the distance between charged objects, Force(attraction/repulsion) weakens by the square of their distance.
As you decrease the distance between charged objects, Force strengthens by the square of their distance.
