Answer:

F/2

Explanation:

In the first case, the two charges are Q1 and Q2 and the distance between them is r. K is the Coulomb's constant

Hence;

F= KQ1Q2/r^2 ------(1)

Where the charge on Q1 is doubled and the distance separating the charges is also doubled;

F= K2Q1 Q2/(2r)^2

F2= 2KQ1Q2/4r^2 ----(2)

F2= F/2

Comparing (1) and (2)

The magnitude of force acting on each of the two particles is;

F= F/2
