Question

Charge q is 1 unit of distance away from the source charge S. Charge p is two times further away. The force exerted

between S and q ls the force exerted between S and p.

Answer 1

The correct answer will be "1/16".

Step-by-step explanation:

The force or distance between two substances in charge seems to be inversely proportional to the square of the size of the particles.

The exerted force between "S" and "q" will be:

⇒
`Fsq=\frac{{Q}'}{Q} 1^2` ...(equation 1)

The exerted force between "S" and "p" will be:

⇒
`Fsp=\frac{{Q}'}{Q} 4^2` ...(equation 2)

Now,

On the comparison of "equation 1" and "equation 2", we get

⇒
`(1)/(16)`
