When the distance between two charged particles is halved, the force between them will become

A

remains same

B

increases four times

C

reduce four times

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As per coluolmb.s Law `F=k (q_(1)q_(2))/(r^(2))`
According to question
`F.=k((q_(1)//2)(q_(2)//2))/((r//2)^(2))=k (q_(1)q_(2))/(r^(2))=F`
Thus, force them wil remain same,.
