1. The magnitude of the charges: The greater the magnitude of the charges, the stronger the electric force. This means that larger charges will experience a stronger force than smaller charges.
2. The distance between the charges: The closer the charges are to each other, the stronger the electric force. As the distance between charges increases, the force weakens rapidly.
You can summarize this relationship with Coulomb's Law:
F = k * (q1 * q2) / r²
Where:
* F is the electric force
* k is Coulomb's constant (a proportionality constant)
* q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges
* r is the distance between the charges
