Physics

• How does the electrostatic force change if the distance between two charges is doubled?


  The force becomes 1/4 of its original value
• What is the direction of the force on a positive charge when it is near a negative charge?


  Towards the negative charge
• What is the direction of the force on a positive charge located at x = 5 m when a negative charge is at x = 0 m?


  Towards the left (negative x-direction)
