The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the two statements provided: **Statement (A):** The force with which two charges interact is not changed by the presence of other charges. 1. **Understanding the Interaction of Charges:** - According to Coulomb's Law, the force \( F \) between two point charges \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) is given by: \[ F = k \frac{|q_1 q_2|}{r^2} \] where \( k \) is Coulomb's constant and \( r \) is the distance between the charges. - This equation shows that the force depends only on the magnitudes of the charges and the distance between them. 2. **Influence of Other Charges:** - The presence of other charges does not affect the force between \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) directly. The force remains the same as long as the distance \( r \) between \( q_1 \) and \( q_2 \) remains unchanged. - Thus, Statement (A) is **true**. **Statement (B):** Electric force experienced by the charged particle due to a number of fixed point charges is the vector resultant of forces experienced due to individual charges. 1. **Understanding Vector Forces:** - When multiple charges exert forces on a single charge, the net force is the vector sum of the individual forces exerted by each charge. - For example, if a charge \( q_4 \) is influenced by charges \( q_1, q_2, \) and \( q_3 \), the forces \( \vec{F_1}, \vec{F_2}, \) and \( \vec{F_3} \) can be represented as vectors. - The net force \( \vec{F_{net}} \) on \( q_4 \) can be calculated as: \[ \vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F_1} + \vec{F_2} + \vec{F_3} \] - Therefore, Statement (B) is also **true**. **Conclusion:** Both statements (A) and (B) are correct. Thus, the correct option is that both statements are true.
