Physics-Coulomb's Law

NEET Physics Coulomb's Law MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-fact-Medium-Class 12

What does Coulomb's law state about the force between two point charges?

A

The force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

B

The force is directly proportional to the sum of the charges and directly proportional to the distance between them.

C

The force is inversely proportional to the masses of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

D

The force is directly proportional to the difference of the charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the force (F) between two point charges q1 and q2 is proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between them, as given in the NCERT context.
