The magnitude of the electric field at a distance of two meters from a negative point charge is E. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the same location if the magnitude of the charge is doubled.

If the charge is doubled, the electric field is also doubled.

Explanation:

Electric field due to the negative charge is given as:

where k = Coulomb's constant

Q = electric charge

r = distance between charge and point of consideration

At 2 m from the negative charge, the magnitude of the Electric field due to a negative charge -Q is given as E:

If the charge is doubled, the new charge becomes -2Q and the new electric field becomes:

If the charge is doubled, the electric field is also doubled.

probably not if net force is zero
