If Coulomb's law involved 1/(r^3) depend...

If Coulomb's law involved `1/(r^3)` dependence (instead of `1/(r^2)`), would Gauss'law be still true?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Guess' law and Coulomb's law depend on each other. So if Coulomb's law changes its form, Gauss'law would also change its present form.
