Electric Current

Question 11 • Fall 24 GSE Physical Science B IC

Which change increases the electric force between objects?

Answer
A
Two neutral objects are moved closer together.
B
Electrons are added to two negatively charged objects.
C
Two oppositely charged objects are moved farther apart.
D
The charge on two positively charged objects is reduced.

Explanation

The electric force’s strength increases when the magnitude of either charge increases, as described by Coulomb’s law. Adding electrons makes each negatively charged object more negative, increasing the magnitude of both charges, so the force between them becomes stronger. Moving charged objects farther apart or reducing their charges would weaken the force.
