The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify which law governs the force between electric charges from the given options: Ampere's law, Ohm's law, Faraday's law, and Coulomb's law. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Options**: - **Ampere's Law**: This law relates to the magnetic field generated by electric currents. It does not govern the force between electric charges. - **Ohm's Law**: This law describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in electrical circuits. It is not related to the force between electric charges. - **Faraday's Law**: This law pertains to electromagnetic induction and the relationship between changing magnetic fields and induced electromotive force (EMF). It does not describe the force between electric charges. - **Coulomb's Law**: This law specifically describes the electrostatic force between two stationary electric charges. It states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. 2. **Identifying the Correct Law**: - Since we are looking for the law that governs the force between electric charges, we can conclude that **Coulomb's Law** is the correct answer. 3. **Final Answer**: - The law governing the force between electric charges is known as **Coulomb's Law**.
