The electrostatic force between two charges is given by
F= k_e  \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}
where ke is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges and d is the distance between the two charges.
We can see from the formula that the force is proportional to \frac{1}{d^2}. This means that if we reduce the distance to one-ninth, i.e. the new distance is
d_{new} =  \frac{1}{9}d
then the force will scale as
 \frac{1}{(d_{new})^2}= \frac{1}{( \frac{1}{9} )^2d^2}= \frac{81}{d^2}
So, the new force will be 81 times stronger than the initial value, therefore the new force is
F_{new}=81 F=81 \cdot 3.0 N=243 N

That is the Sigma Symbol. It’s the addition of a sequence of numbers; the result is the sum of the total. if numbers are added sequentially from left to right, any intermediate result is a partial sum, prefix sum, or running total of the summation

Weightlessness is experienced by an astronaut in space. This means that the astronaut's muscles have to be stronger to move his
just olya [345]
The answer is false. The speed of the astronaut cancels out the force of gravity, causing a 'stationary freefall'. While under these effects, it is not required for an astronaut to 'strengthen' his body.

Answer:

B. It is directly proportional to the source charge.

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the total (net) flux of an electric field at points on a closed surface is directly proportional to the electric charge enclosed by that surface.

This ultimately implies that, Gauss's law relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface.

This electromagnetism law was formulated in 1835 by famous scientists known as Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Mathematically, Gauss's law is given by this formula;

ϕ = (Q/ϵ0)

Where;

ϕ is the electric flux.

Q represents the total charge in an enclosed surface.

ε0 is the electric constant.

Hence, the statement which is true of the electric field at a distance from the source charge is that it is directly proportional to the source charge.
