Chapter 6, Problem 39R

To determine

To Choose:Thecorrect option.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

Charged particle attract oppositely charged particles by applying an electrical force on each other.The force between electric charges depends on the amount of charge as well as on the distance between charges. This force assists the charges to flow from one object to another.

If the amount of charge on the objects increases, the electrical force between them increases. In addition, as the charges get closer together, force increases. Similarly, the force between any twoelectrically chargedobjects decreases as the objects getfarther apart.

Hence, electric force between two charged objects depends on their charges and their separation.

Conclusion: Option C. is true for the factors on which electric force between two charged objects depends.
