NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about electric charges and fields is correct?
The force between two point charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Charged bodies can be treated as point charges only when they are large compared to the distance separating them.
Doubling the charge on a sphere while halving the distance will not change the force of repulsion between them.
Electric charges always create a uniform electric field regardless of their configuration.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Coulomb's law, the force between two point charges varies inversely as the square of the distance between them and is directly proportional to the product of the charges. This is supported by the NCERT context that highlights the relationship defined by Coulomb.
