Question

The electric force acting between two charges doesn’t depend upon:

  1. Distance between the charges
  2. The magnitude of the charges
  3. The medium between the charges
  4. The mass of the charges

hintHint:

Doesn't depend upon the mass of the charges.

The correct answer is: The mass of the charges


    • Electric force is given by: F= Kq1q2/r2
    • Where; K= proportionality constant, q= magnitude of charge, r= distance between the charges.
    • K depends upon the medium between the charges.
    • Therefore, electric force doesn't depends on mass of the charges.

    A ________ charge shows the direction of electric force at a point due to a charged body.

    • A test charge is a charge with a magnitude so small that placing it at a point has a negligible affect on the field around the point.
    • A positive test charge is a unit positive charge which is used to determine the strength and direction of an electric field.

    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.
