Question

The inverse square law that describes electrostatic force was named for ________.

Coulomb
Oersted
Faraday
Ampere

Answer 1

The inverse square law that describes electrostatic force was named for COULOMB.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the force between two charges is given by

`F = (kq_1q_2)/(r^2)`

here we know that the force between two charges depends on the product of two charges and inversely depends on the square of the distance between two charges

So it is also known as inverse square law

This is given by scientist Coulomb

So it is known as Coulomb's law

so here correct answer will be

The inverse square law that describes electrostatic force was named for COULOMB.
