If one charge is quadrupled, what happens to the force between charges?

Sagot :

AL2006

The force between charges is proportional to the product of
the two charges.  If just one of them is quadrupled, then their
product is also quadrupled, and so is the force between them.

The same identical argument applies to the gravitational force
between masses.
