Answer:
44 N
Explanation:
The electrostatic forces between two charges is given by:
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is their separation
We notice that the force is directly proportional to the charges.
In this problem, initially we have a force of
F = 22 N
on a q2 = 4.0 C, exerted by a charge q1.
If the charge is doubled,
q2 = 8.0 C
This means that the force will also double, so it will be
