    Question

    What happens to the electrostatic force between two

    charges when the distance between them decreases?┬а
    A Increases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Decreases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Increases and then decreases Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Remains same Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The force between two charges is given as F= K m M/ d┬▓ ┬а. Hence, if the distance decreases the overall denominator decreases and therefore force increases. We can say that force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two charges. Hence, option A is correct.┬а
