The force between two very small charged bodies is found to be F.If the distance between them is tripled without altering their charges,the force between them becomes A)9F B)3F C)F/3 D)F/9 E)1/F³

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law, which states that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Therefore, if the distance is tripled, the force becomes (1/3)^2 = 1/9 of the original force, hence F/9.
