Q19. Coulomb’s law [4]

This law is a quantitative statement of about the force between two-point charges. When the linear
sizes of charged bodies are much smaller than the distance between them, their sizes may be
ignored and the charge bodies are called point charges. After retiring from his active services as a
military engineer in 1776, Coulomb discovered a torsion balance to measure a small quantity of force
and used it for determination of forces of attraction or repulsion between small charged spheres. He
thus arrived in 1785 at the inverse square law relation, now known as Coulomb’s law. He found that
the force between two-point charges varied inversely with the square of the distance between the
charges and was directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges Previous Year
