Question
Choose the correct statement from the following statements given:
- The electric force is always repulsive in nature.
- The electric force doesn’t depend upon the medium between the charges.
- The electric force is the weakest fundamental force in nature.
- The electric force depends on the distance between the charges.
Hint:
Coulomb's law calculates the magnitude of the force F between two point charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance r. F=k|q1q2|r2. k=8.988×109N⋅m2C2≈8.99×109N⋅m2C2.
The correct answer is: The electric force depends on the distance between the charges.
The electric force depends on the distance between the charges according to columbs law.
Electric force is dependent on q1, q2 directly
Electric force is indirectly proportional to the square of the distance in between two charges.

The electric force ___________ on the medium between the charges.
- K= 1/4πε
- The value of k depends on the electric permittivity of the medium (ε).
- And the electric permittivity of a medium (ε) depends on the nature of the medium.
- Therefore, the value of K is different for different medium.
- Hence, the electrostatic force depends on the medium between the two charges.
