Coulomb's law states that the electric force becomes weaker with increasing distance. Suppose that instead, the electric force between two charged particles were independent of distance. In this case, would a neutral insulator still be attracted towards the comb.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The charged body attracts the natural body because attraction (due to the distance factor) is more than the repulsion.
