Multiple Choice

Two like electric charges _____ each other.

• Repel

• Attract

Multiple Choice

The field lines between two negative charges:

• Connect one charge to the other

• Bend away from both charges

Multiple Select

Which two statements describe how a change in the strength of one or both electric charges affects the magnitude of the electric force between them.

• If both charges are doubled, the electric force doubles.

• If both charges are doubled, the electric force increases by a factor of 4.

• If one charge is doubled, the electric force is divided in half.

• If one charge is doubled, the electric force doubles.

Multiple Choice

Which statement describes how a change in the distance between two charges affects the electric force between them?

• If the distance between the charges is divided by 2, the electric force is also divided by 2.

• If the distance between the charges is divided by 2, the electric force remains the same.

• If the distance between the charges is divided by 2, the electric force doubles.

• If the distance between the charges is divided by 2, the electric force more than doubles.
