Question
Eddie is experimenting on charged particles. He has three particles, one has a charge of +1C, one a charge of -2C, and one a charge of +2. Eddie uses 2 particles at a time to set up an experiment and record the data. Here are 2 lines from his data table.
Interaction Charge on Object 1 (C) Charge on Object 2 (C) Amount of Force
A +1 -2 weak
B +1 +2 strong
What must be the difference between interaction A and interaction B?
(1 point)
Responses
The size of the objects in interaction A are larger than in interaction B.
The size of the objects in interaction A are larger than in interaction B.
The objects are further apart in interaction A than in interaction B
The objects are further apart in interaction A than in interaction B
Positive charges are stronger than negative charges.
Positive charges are stronger than negative charges.

The correct answer is: Repulsive forces are stronger than attractive forces.
Baloney
he is holding the +1 charge in both cases
he holds it up near a +2 or - 2 charge
if they were the same distance apart, the Magnitude of the force would be the same although opposite in direction
Therefore further apart in interaction A
