Which assumptions were made by Coulomb? I. bodies small compared to distance; II. F proportional to product of charges and inversely to square of distance; III. bodies appreciably large.
Options
A I and II only
Correct Answer
B II and III only
C I and III only
D I, II and III
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation
