Question

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?

A) repulsive, strong

B) attractive, weak

C) repulsive, weak

D) attractive, strong

The most likely answer based on the data in the table is A) repulsive, strong. This is because in all three observations, objects with charges of the same sign (either both positive or both negative) experience a strong electric force, indicating repulsion between the charges. Since both objects in this scenario have a charge of +1 C, they are likely to experience a repulsive, strong electric force as well.
