NEET Physics Coulomb's Law MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about Coulomb's Law is correct?
The force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The force is always attractive, regardless of the sign of the charges involved.
Coulomb's Law applies only to point charges and not to extended charge distributions.
The resultant force on a charge is independent of the presence of other charges in the system.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Coulomb's Law states that the force between two point charges is given by the equation F = (k * |q1 * q2|) / r², indicating that it is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This is consistent with the NCERT context provided.
