What is true about the force between charges?
2 answers:
Answer:
The statements A and D are true
The statements B and C are false
Explanation:
The force between charges can be explained by the Coulomb's Law.
According to Coulomb:
1 - Like charges always repel each other
2- Unlike or opposite charges always attrack each other
3- Force between 2 charges is given by:
where F is the force between 2 charges and r is the distance between 2 charges.
We can see that Force F is inversely proportional to the distance r
Which means that when F increase, r decreases and when F decreases, r increases

Answer:
Same direction to produce maximum magnitude and opposite direction to produce minimum magnitude
Explanation:
Let a be the angle between vectors A and B. Generally when we add A to B, we can split A into 2 sub vectors, 1 parallel to B and the other perpendicular to B.
Also let A and B be the magnitude of vector A and B, respectively.
We have the parallel component after addition be
Acos(a) + B
And the perpendicular component after addition be
Asin(a)
The magnitude of the resulting vector would be
As A and B are fixed, the equation above is maximum when cos(a) = 1, meaning a = 0 degree and vector A and B are in the same direction, and minimum with cos(a) = -1, meaning a = 180 degree and vector A and B are in opposite direction.
