When two charges `q_(1) and q_(2)` are kept at some distance apart, force acting between these charges is F. If a third change `q_(3)` is placed quite close to `q_(3)` is placed quite close to `q_(2)` what will happen to the force between `q_(1) and q_(2)` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As force between any two charges doesn't depend upon the presence of any other charge. So force between `F_(1) and F_(2)` will remain F only.
