Like charges attract each other.

Show answer

False

Like charges (same sign) repel each other. Unlike charges (opposite signs) attract each other. This is the fundamental law of electrostatics.

The quantisation of electric charge means that q = ±ne, where n is a positive integer.

Show answer

True

Quantisation means charge exists only as integral multiples of the elementary charge e. q = ±ne where n = 1, 2, 3, ... No charge between e and 2e can exist in free state.

The value of Coulomb's constant k (= 1/4πε₀) in SI units is:

Show answer

9 × 10⁹ N·m²·C⁻²

k = 1/4πε₀ = 9 × 10⁹ N·m²·C⁻². Note: 8.85 × 10⁻¹² is ε₀, and 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ is Newton's gravitational constant G.

Two equal positive charges are placed 1 m apart in vacuum. If the distance is doubled, the electrostatic force becomes:

Show answer

One-fourth

F ∝ 1/r². If r is doubled (r' = 2r), then F' = k·q²/(2r)² = k·q²/4r² = F/4. The force becomes one-fourth.
