HELP!!!! According to Coulomb's Law, if the distance between the nucleus and electron were doubled, the force would be A. 1/4 as much. B. 1/2 as much. C. two times as much. D. four times as much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what coulomb's law is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah but I got this one wrong on my test and the stupid thing explained everything but this one. (It even explained the correct answers)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok .. state the coloumb's law.. ! in equation form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f_{e}= (Kq_{1}q_{2})/d^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know it's not B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so initial distance is lets say d now final distance becomes 2d... so plug in and see how what happens.. and compare !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so mine increased by 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

* 8 times

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm pretty sure it wasn't supposed to increase by that much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um…scratch that I put in wrong the second time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was 1/4 as much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mashy Thanks!!! =) (= <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
