- #6Does the force on a charge due to another charge depend on the charges present nearby?Ans : Coulomb's Law states that the force between two charged particle is given by
`` F=\frac{{q}_{1}{q}_{2}}{4\pi {\in }_{0}{r}^{2}}``,
where
q1 and q2 are the charges on the charged particles
r = separation between the charged particles
`` {\in }_{0}``= permittivity of free space
According to the Law of Superposition, the electrostatic forces between two charged particles are unaffected due to the presence of other charges.
