The electrostatic force between two charged spheres is 64 n. what will the magnitude of the force be if the size of each charge is doubled and the distance between the spheres is doubled?

The magnitude of the force if the size of each charge is doubled and the distance between the spheres is doubled is 64 newtons.

Explanation:

The magnitude of electrostatic force between two charged objects is:

With and the charges and r the distance between the charges (in our case the distance between the spheres).At first we have that the force is 64N so:

(1)

Now if each charge is doubled and the distance between them is doubled too:

, Note that it's the same on the right side equation (1) so

Magnitude of the force is the same!

find the surface area of the sphere to the nearest square unit. use a calculator.
