Question

From Coulomb's law, what will be the slope of the graph of log F vs log r?
Options
A 1/2
B 2
C -log 2
D -2
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

F = kq1q2/r2. Taking logs: log F = log(kq1q2) - 2 log r. This is a straight line log F vs log r with gradient -2.

Hint

F = kq1q2/r2.
