Two equal positive charges are near each other. If we increase the amount of charge on just one of them, then
A) the electric field points toward the larger charge.
B) the strength of the electrical force on both decreases.
C) the electric field at the position of the smaller charge increases.
D) the larger charge feels a stronger electrical force and the other a weaker electrical force.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electric field strength at a point is directly proportional to the source charge. Increasing the charge on one of them increases the electric field at the position of the other (smaller) charge.
