Questions and Answers

What is the basis of treating electrical charges as point charges?

  • Faraday's Law
  • Ohm's Law
  • Coulomb's Law (correct)
  • Ampere's Law

According to Coulomb's Law, how does the force between two point charges vary with the distance between them?

  • It varies inversely with the square root of the distance
  • It varies directly with the distance
  • It varies directly with the square of the distance
  • It varies inversely with the distance (correct)

What is the relationship between the magnitude of charge and the force between two point charges, according to Coulomb's Law?

  • The force remains constant with the magnitude of charge
  • The force decreases as the magnitude of charge increases
  • The force varies inversely with the magnitude of charge
  • The force increases as the magnitude of charge increases (correct)
