SSC CGL 2020 PYQ — Question 47

SSC CGL - 3rd March 2020 Shift 2 • General Awareness • Q47

Which law of physics states that the force between the two electric charges reduces to a quarter of its former value when the distance between them is doubled?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct option is option 4 i.e. Coulomb’s Law.

Coulomb’s Law According to Coulomb’s law, the force of attraction or repulsion between two charged bodies is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. 
  It acts along the line joining the two charges considered to be point charges.
