NEET Physics Coulomb's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The force between two charges decreases as the distance between them increases. | Reason (R): The force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Based on Coulomb's law, the force between two point charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance separating them, which explains why the force decreases with increasing distance.
