Two point charges of +5 C and -12 C attract each other with a force of 1.48 N. charge of -5 C is added to each of these charges. Now the force will be:
Correct answer: D. Zero
- A. 1.48 N (attractive)
- B. 1.48 N (repulsive)
- C. 2.96 (repulsive)
- D. Zero
Explanation
This question does not require any calculation. Just know that if we add -5C to both, it will leave the +5C point charge to become a charge of 0C, in other words without any charge, hence there will neither be an attractive or repulsive force in between.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
