Two charged bodies separated by a distance d exert an electrical force on each other.The charge on one of the bodies is doubled.The electrical forces on each body now
A)double.
B)decrease by 1/2.
C)stay the same.
D)differ-the force on the other body doubles,but the force on the body whose charge was changed stays the same as before.
E)increase by a factor of four.

According to Coulomb's law, the electrical force between two charged bodies is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Therefore, doubling the charge on one body will double the electrical force between the bodies, assuming the distance between them stays the same.
