Ask AI: What will happen to the force between 2 charges if both of the charges are doubled?

According to Coulomb's Law, the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. If both of the charges are doubled, then the force (F) would quadruple (4F). This is because if you double each charge, the equation becomes (2q1)*(2q2), which is equal to 4*(q1*q2) - you've now got four times the original force. Remember, this is maintaining that the distance between the charges doesn't change.
