Summarize how each factor affects the electric force between two objects.
Type of Charge:
Amount of Charge:
Distance between two charges:
Type of Charge: Objects with opposite charges (positive and negative) will attract each other, while objects with the same charges (positive-positive or negative-negative) will repel each other.
Amount of Charge: The greater the amount of charge on an object, the greater the electric force between it and another charged object.
Distance between two charges: As the distance between two charged objects decreases, the electric force between them increases. Conversely, as the distance between two charged objects increases, the electric force between them decreases.
