1. Electric Charges and Fields
easy

Two charges of equal magnitudes and at a distance $r$ exert a force $F$ on each other. If the charges are halved and distance between them is doubled, then the new force acting on each charge is

A

$F / 8$

B

$F / 4$

C

$4 F$

D

$F / 16$

Solution

(d) $F = k.\frac{{{Q^2}}}{{{r^2}}}$. If $Q$ is halved, $r$ is doubled then $F \to \frac{1}{{16}}{\rm{times}}$
