NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): The force between two charges decreases as the distance between them increases. | Reason (R): Coulomb's Law shows that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Coulomb's Law states F = k * |q1*q2| / r^2, showing the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between charges. Thus, as r increases, the force decreases.
