Question

The force F between two charges Q1 and Q2 in a vacuum is proportional to the product of the charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charges

Answer 1

The given statement "The force F between two charges
`Q_1` and
`Q_2` in a vacuum is proportional to the product of the charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charges" is a Coulomb's law.

Explanation:

Given that "The force F between two charges
`Q_1` and
`Q_2` in a vacuum is proportional to the product of the charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two charges"

The given statement is a Coulomb's law.

Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force F of attraction or repulsion between the two point charges
`Q_1` and
`Q_2` is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges
`Q_1` and
`Q_2` and it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two charges.
