Two similarly charged bodies are kept 5 cm apart in air. If the second body is shifted away from the first by another 5 cm, their force of repulsion will be

  • doubled
  • halved
  • quadrupled
  • reduced to one-fourth
  • Explanation:

    The force between two charged bodies is defined by Coulomb's law which states that the electrical force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of the quantity of charge on the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two objects.
