A particle 'P' has a mass of 2 grams and a charge +2µC. Another particle 'Q', has a mass of 0.5 grams and a charge of 4µC. Since they have charges of the same sign, they have a force of repulsion. Which particle has a greater Coulomb repulsion force on the other, and by how much?

Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

A particle 'P' has a mass of 2 grams and a charge +2µC. Another
particle 'Q', has a mass of 0.5 grams and a charge of 4µC. Since
they have charges of the same sign, they have a force of repulsion.
Which particle has a greater Coulomb repulsion force on the other,
and by how much?
Q, twice as much
Q, four times as much
O P, twice as much
P, four times as much
O The force of repulsion is the same on both the particles
