Coulomb’s law has the same inverse-square form as ___ law of gravitation:

Answer: Newton's.

  • A Newton's
  • B Ohm's
  • C Boyle's
  • D Hooke's

Correct answer: A. Newton's

Explanation: Both Coulomb's law and Newton's law of gravitation follow an inverse-square dependence on distance.

Field Lines: Single Charge vs Electric Dipole+isolated +charge: lines radiate outward, all directions+dipole: lines curve from + to − (denser between them)

Field lines always point from positive to negative charge, are denser where the field is stronger, and never cross; an isolated positive charge has lines radiating symmetrically outward, while a dipole's lines curve from the positive to the negative charge.

Concept context

Coulomb's law, electric field, potential, capacitors, Gauss's law.
