Coulomb's Law describes the force between two point charges:
* F = k * (q1 * q2) / r²
Where:
* F is the force
* k is Coulomb's constant
* q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges
* r is the distance between the charges
Analyzing the impact of doubling the charges:
* If both q1 and q2 are doubled, the product (q1 * q2) becomes 4 times larger (2 * 2 = 4).
* Since the force is directly proportional to (q1 * q2), the force also becomes 4 times larger.
Therefore, doubling the magnitude of both charges results in a quadrupling of the force between them.
