Question
Coulomb’s Law is valid for ______?

Answer

  1. Only point charge.
Explanation:
Coulomb’s Law explains the force between two point charges only. A distributed charge can be considered as the sum of infinite point charges and thus the force between two distributed charge systems can be explained.
