Question

The magnitude of electrostatic force between two point charges, separated by a distancer is F. If the distance between the charges is doubled, then the new electrostatic force will be
1)F/4
2)F/2
3)2F
4)4F​

Answer 1

Answer:

2) F/4

Explanation:Electrostatic force is inversely proportional to square of distance between charges.

As it will be doubled the force will be one forth of previous value

i.e F/4
