Question

which factors affect the strength of the electric force between two objects?

• the mass of the objects and the distance between the objects
• the amount of charge on the objects and the type of charge on the objects
• the distance between the objects and the amount of charge on the objects
• the mass of the objects and the amount of charge on the objects

Explanation:

The electric force between two objects is determined by Coulomb's law, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges on the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mass does not affect the electric force. The type of charge (positive or negative) affects the direction (attraction or repulsion) but the magnitude of the force is mainly about the amount of charge and distance.

Answer:

the distance between the objects and the amount of charge on the objects
