The electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the

A

sum of the charges

B

distance between the charges

C

permittivity of the medium

D

product of the charges

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By Coulomb.s law

`F = (1)/( 4pi epsi _(0)) . ( q _(1) q _(2))/( r ^(2))`
So, the electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the charge.
