Answer:
The charges under study are of the same sign
The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges
Explanation:
Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field
E = k q / r²
where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.
When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.
* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.
* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.
* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero
The answer is a.12.5kg because i just did the test and it was correct.
hope this helps
the electric force decreases because the distance has an indirect relationship to the force
Explanation:
The electric force between two objects is given by

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the charges of the two objects
r is the distance between the two objects
As we can see from the formula, the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: so, when the distance between the object increases, the magnitude of the force decreases.
Speed is the distance travelled by an object whereas velocity is distance travelled by an object per unit time in a given direction.
