A charged prod, such as the one seen in the video, is brought near an identical charged hanging sphere. Consider the dependence of the electric force on distance that you found in the video. Based on this, what would happen to the force on the hanging sphere if the distance between the spheres was doubled? A: The force would be four times the original magnitude.
B: The force would be half the original magnitude.
C: The magnitude of the force would not change.
D: The force would be double the original magnitude.
E: The force would be one-fourth the original magnitude.
