Question

Problem 14: Two charged conducting marbles each have a charge of q and exert a force F on each other. If the distance between the marbles does not change, what happens to the force that each exerts on the other if the charge of both marbles is halved? Select one of the Following (a) The force is unchanged (b) The force is doubled. (c) The force is halved. (d) The force is four times as strong. (e) The force is a quarter of the original strength. Problem 15: Two point charges each experience an acceleration with a magnitude of a due to the electric force between them when they are separated by a distance equal to r. hat accelerations do they experience when they are separated by a distance of r/2? Select One of the Following (a) a/4 (b) a/2 (c) 2a (d) 4a (e) a Problem 16: Two point charges have charge q and exert a force F on each other. If the distance between the charges does not change, what happens to the force that each exerts on the other if the charge of each point charge is doubled to 2a? Select One of the Roll (a) The force is unchanged. (b) The force is doubled. (c) The force is halved. (d) The force is four times as strong. (e) The force is a quarter of the original strength.
