Questions and Answers

According to Coulomb's Law, the force between two point charges at rest is directly proportional to which of the following?

  • The sum of the charges
  • Product of the magnitude of the charges (correct)
  • The cube of the distance between them
  • The square of the distance between them

    • What happens to the force between two charges if they are unlike (one positive and one negative)?

  • It doubles in magnitude
  • It becomes repulsive
  • It becomes zero
  • It becomes attractive (correct)
