MCQ
Coulomb’s Law is valid for ______?
  • A
    Only point charge.
  • B
    For both point charge and distributed charge.
  • C
    Only distributed charges.
  • D
    Neither distributed nor point charge.

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.
