B

Coulomb's Law holds true only when charges are placed in a vacuum and does not apply in the presence of any matter.

C

Coulomb's Law does not satisfy Newton’s third law as it applies only to static charges and not to charges in motion.

D

Coulomb's Law applies to any two charged objects regardless of their distance, without any limitations on the medium between them.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Coulomb's Law describes the electrostatic force between two point charges, stating that the force is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, as derived from the NCERT context.
