* If you double one charge, the force doubles.
This is described by Coulomb's Law:
F = k * q1 * q2 / r²
Where:
* F is the electrostatic force
* k is Coulomb's constant
* q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges
* r is the distance between the charges
So, if you double one charge (let's say q1), the force becomes:
F' = k * (2 * q1) * q2 / r² = 2 * (k * q1 * q2 / r²) = 2 * F
Therefore, the magnitude of the force is doubled.
