Question

Decide how the sketches below would be listed, if they were listed in order of decreasing force between the charges. That is, select "1" beside the sketch with the strongest force between the charges, select "2" beside the sketch with the next strongest force between the charges, and so on.

Answer 1

Answer:

box 2=highest

box3= 2

box 1=3

box 4=lowest

Explanation:

Decide how the sketches below would be listed, if they were listed in order of decreasing force between the charges. That is, select "1" beside the sketch with the strongest force between the charges, select "2" beside the sketch with the next strongest force between the charges, and so on.

take note that like charges repel while unlike charges attract

from the law of electric attraction, we know that

f=kQq/r^2

force is directly proportional to the charges,

-3-1= has the highest force of repulsion

the first bos, the balls are -2-1=-3 they are repulsive

second box=-3-1=-4

third box=-3-1=-4

fourth=-1-1=-2

box 2=highest

box3= 2

box 1=3

box 4=lowest
