Problem

Two particles, each carrying a charge whose magnitude equals that of a proton, are separated by a distance dd and attract each other with force FF. Which single change listed below will produce the greatest INCREASE in the magnitude of the force? a) Double the magnitude of both charges, keeping the distance dd unchanged. b) Reduce the separation distance to d2\dfrac{d}{2}, keeping the charges unchanged. c) Reduce the separation distance to d3\dfrac{d}{3}, keeping the charges unchanged. d) Double the magnitude of one of the charges, keeping the distance dd unchanged.
