NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12
Assertion (A): Coulomb's law is applicable to both like and unlike charges. | Reason (R): The force between two point charges varies with the inverse of the square of the distance between them.
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 B
Detailed Explanation
Coulomb's law applies to both like and unlike charges due to its formula encompassing both attractive and repulsive forces. However, the inverse-square relationship describes how force magnitude changes with distance, not why Coulomb's law applies to both types of charges.
