Suppose that two electric charges of magnitudes +3 Coulombs (C) and +5 C are held in place when separated by a distance of 4 m. (a) If the distance between the charges is increased to 8 m, by what factor does the force between the charges change? That is, what is the value of ? (Note well: if you actually calculate a number for F8 and a number for F4 before finding their ratio, you’re doing far too much work)! (Show your work here):
