Electric Charge — Quiz

Question 3 • Physical Science

Which factors affect the strength of the electric force between two objects?

Answer
A
the mass of the objects and the amount of charge on the objects
B
the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects
C
the amount of charge on the objects and the type of charge on the objects
D
the distance between the objects and the amount of charge on the objects

Explanation

Coulomb’s law says the strength of the electric force depends on the amount of charge on each object and the distance between them. Larger charges produce a stronger force, while greater distance produces a weaker force. Therefore, the correct choice is the distance between the objects and the amount of charge on the objects.
