Praxis II General Science

Category - Physics

If there is no distance separating a positive charge from a negative charge, then theoretically the attractive force is:
  1. 1 N.
  2. Coulomb’s constant.
  3. 0 N.
  4. 900 N.
  5. Infinite.
Explanation
Answer: E - From Coulomb’s law, we can see that as r approaches 0, the attractive or repulsive force approaches infinity. Thus, if r = 0, the attractive force would be infinite.
