Answer:
F’ = (3/2)F
Explanation:
the formula for the electric field strength is given as follows:
E = F/q
where,
E = Electric Field Strength
F = Force due to the electric field
q = magnitude of charge experiencing the force
Therefore,
F = E q —————- equation (1)
Now, if we half the electric field strength and make the magnitude of charge triple its initial value. Then the force will become:
F’ = (E/2)(3 q)
F’ = (3/2)(E q)
using equation (1)
F’ = (3/2)F
