If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.
Explanation:
The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law
K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²
q1= charge on first particle
q2= charge on second particle
r= distance between the two charges
Now if the first charge is doubled,
we get 
F'= 2 F
Thus the force gets doubled.
Boron Group
elements have three valence electrons and are fairly reactive. All of them are solids at room temperature. Boron is a very hard, black metalloid with a high melting point.
Answer:
Explanation:
According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electric force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:
Here k is the Coulomb constant. In this case, we have 
, 
and 
. Replacing the values:
The negative sign indicates that it is an attractive force. So, the magnitude of the electric force is:
This is another one of those muddy misleading questions, followed by
a muddy group of choices from which an answer must be selected.
a). is absurd. There's no such thing as a "balanced force", only
a balanced group of forces.
b). is probably the choice the question is aiming for.
c). is not so. The engines of an airplane do plenty of work lifting the plane
off the ground, although the force of the engines is never directed upward.
d). is really awkward. The object's motion is almost never the cause of the force.
The force is almost always the cause of the object's motion.
Now for the big 800-lb gorilla in the room: No moving object needs to be involved
in order for energy to be flowing or work to be getting done.
-- A radio wave radiates through space. Straighten out a wire coat-hanger and
stick it up in the air where the radio wave can pass by it. Electrical current flows
through the wire, and you can drain the electrical energy out the bottom of it.
-- A light bulb is shining. Some distance away, something it's shining on
gets warm, because of the heat energy that has shot across to it from the
light bulb and soaked into it.
-- A lightning bolt jumps from the ground to a passing cloud. Or, if you feel
more comfortable with it, a lightning bolt jumps from a cloud to the ground.
It doesn't matter. Either way, there's enough energy splashing around to
ignite houses, zap TVs and computers, melt concrete, vaporize water, and
light up a city. Although nothing is moving.
