Chapter 12.7, Problem 2OE

To determine

Force F, between two point charges of static electricity is inversely propositional to square of the distance d, use k as the constant where needed.

Answer to Problem 2OE

  $F=k\cdot \frac{1}{d^2}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

F varies inversely propositional to two static electricity distance which is d.

F varies inversely propositional to two static electricity distance which is d.

That is $F\prec \frac{1}{d^2}$...... $\left(1\right)$

Given k is constant.

Put constant k in equation 1.

  $F=k\cdot \frac{1}{d^2}$
