Question
Plot a graph showing the variation of coulomb force (F) versus , where r is the distance between the two charges of each pair of charges: (1
C, 2
C) and (2
C – 3
C). Interpret the graphs obtained.
Solution
Force between charged particles is given by,
The graph between F and is a straight line of slope passing through the origin.
Magnitude of slope is more for attraction, therefore attractive force is greater than the repulsive force.
