Question 2 • 25-26 TX-Physics B-CR

How does the electrical force relate to the charge of an object?

Answer
A
It is inversely proportional to the square of the charge.
B
It is directly proportional to the square of the charge.
C
It is inversely proportional to the charge.
D
It is directly proportional to the charge.

Explanation

By Coulomb’s law, the electrical force between two objects is proportional to the product of their charges: F ∝ q₁q₂. If the other object’s charge and the distance between them stay fixed, the force is directly proportional to the charge of the object in question. So the correct choice is “It is directly proportional to the charge.”
