The electrostatic force between two point charges is 5.7*10^-4N. The charge on one of the point charges triples and the distant between the points doubles. What is the force between the two point charges?

The force between two point charges is a measure of the attraction or repulsion between the two charges. It is calculated using Coulomb's Law, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The force between two point charges can be calculated using the equation F = (k*q1*q2)/r2, where k is the Coulomb's constant (8.98755 x 109 Nm2/C2), q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges, and r is the distance between them.
Coulomb's Law is a fundamental law of electrostatics that describes the force between two point charges. It states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Yes, the force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This means that as the charges increase, the force between them increases, and as the distance between them increases, the force decreases.
Yes, the force between two point charges can be both attractive and repulsive depending on the sign of the charges. Like charges (both positive or both negative) will repel each other, while opposite charges (positive and negative) will attract each other.
