Two charged bodies separated by a distance d exert an electrical force on each other.The distance d is doubled.The electrical force on each body is now 1/2 of the original force.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Coulomb's Law, the electrical force between two charged bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So, if the distance is doubled, the force should become one-fourth of the original force (not 1/2 as stated in the statement). Therefore, the given statement is false.
