Question 8, chap 123, sect 5. part 1 of 4 10 points A small cork with an excess charge of
Explanation / Answer
from the coulombs law
intially f1 = kq1q2/d^2
now distance becomes twice
f2 = kq1q2/(2d)^2
f2/f1 = 1/4d^2/1/d^2 = d^2/4d^2
f2/f1 = 1/4
f2 = f1/4
1/4 times the inital magnitude of electric force
so option is 3
