Use the table of observations about the electric force between charged objects to answer the question.
Charge of Object 1 (C) Charge of Object 2 (C) Distance (mm) Amount of Electric Force
+1 +1 4 medium
–1 –1 2 strong
–2 +2 4 strong
An object with a charge of +1 C is 10 mm from an object with a charge of +1 C. Based on the data in the table, which type and amount of electrical force will there most likely be between the two objects?

The correct answer is: repulsive, strong.
Based on the data in the table, when both objects have the same charge (+1 C) and are at a distance of 4 mm, the amount of electric force is described as "strong". This indicates that there is a strong repulsive force between the objects, as objects with the same charge repel each other.
