Question = State the limitations of the coloumb's law in electrostatics and is this law in electrostatics is applicable for all the situations ?
Answers
⏩ No, Coulomb's law in electrostatics does not hold in all the situations. it is applicable only in the following situations.
1). The electric charges must be stationary.
2). The electric charges must be points in size.
Coulomb,s law does not apply to two charged bodies of finite sizes, say two charged spheres. it is because, the distribution of charge does not remain uniform, when the two bodies brought together.
