Answer: Force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved
Explanation:
Let the charges be q1 and q2 and the distance between the charges be 'd'
Mathematical representation of coulombs law will be;
F1=kq1q2/d²...(1)
Where k is the electrostatic constant.
If q1 and q2 is doubled and the distance halved, we will have;
F2 = k(2q1)(2q2)/(d/2)²
F2 = 4kq1q2/(d²/4)
F2 = 16kq1q2/d²...(2)
Dividing equation 1 by 2
F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² ÷ 16kq1q2/d²
F1/F2 = kq1q2/d² × d²/16kq1q2
F1/F2 = 1/16
F1 = 1/16F2
This shows that the force F will be one-sixteenth of the new force when the charges are doubled and distance halved
Can have any number of exceptions as long as we know about them. Hope this helps!!! Brainleist Please!!
