Q: What is the correct answer for CUET UG Physics Q9?

The correct answer is D. Coulomb's Law states that the electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The nature of this force depends on the signs of the charges: 1. If the product of charges (q₁q₂) is positive (i.e., both charges are of the same sign, either both positive or both negative),

FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

Coulomb's Law states that the electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The nature of this force depends on the signs of the charges: 
1.  If the product of charges (q₁q₂) is positive (i.e., both charges are of the same sign, either both positive or both negative), the force is repulsive. This means the forces F₁₂ (on q₁ due to q₂) and F₂₁ (on q₂ due to q₁) will point away from each other along the line joining the charges. 
2.  If the product of charges (q₁q₂) is negative (i.e., the charges are of opposite signs, one positive and one negative), the force is attractive. This means the forces F₁₂ and F₂₁ will point towards each other along the line joining the charges. 
Option (d) correctly depicts attractive forces (F₁₂ pointing towards q₂ and F₂₁ pointing towards q₁), which occurs when the product q₁q₂ is negative.
