The table lists the values of the electrical force and the gravitational force between two protons.

Mark creates a graphic organizer to review his notes about electrical force.

A negative charge, q1, of 6 µC is 0.002 m north of a positive charge, q2, of 3 µC. What is the magnitude and direction of the electrical force, Fe, applied by q1 on q2?

Three charges are located at the vertices of a triangle, as shown.

One charge is decreased to one-third of its original value, and a second charge is decreased to one-half of its original value.

Both the electrical force and the gravitational force between two objects share which relationship?

How does the electrical force relate to the charge of an object?
