distance between them is doubled?

This questions was previously asked in

SSC CGL 3rd March 2020 Shift-2

Coulomb’s Law

Stefan's Law

Pascal's Law

Hooke's Law

- Option 1: Coulomb’s Law

- Coulomb's Law describes the force between two electric charges.

- It states that the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

- Doubling the distance between charges reduces the force to a quarter.

- CORRECT ANSWER

- Option 2: Stefan's Law

- Stefan's Law relates to blackbody radiation.

- It does not pertain to electric charges or forces.

- Option 3: Pascal’s Law

- Pascal’s Law concerns the transmission of fluid pressure.

- It is not related to electric charges.

- Option 4: Hooke’s Law

- Hooke's Law deals with the force needed to extend or compress a spring.

- It is unrelated to electric charges.
