1. The electrostatic force between two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by a distance $r$ is $F$. If the charges are doubled and the separation between them is reduced to half, the electrostatic force will be
2. Electrostatic force between two charges placed in vacuum is $F$. If the charges are placed at the same separation in a medium of dielectric constant (or relative permittivity) $K$, the force between them will be
3. Two positive charges $+q$ each are fixed at a certain distance apart. The third equal positive charge $+q$ is placed exactly midway between them. Then the third charge will
4. Two charges are placed a certain distance apart in air. When a dielectric sheet is placed between them, the electrostatic force between them will
5. Two small identical spheres having charges +10 µC and –90 µC attract each other with a force of F newton. If they are kept in contact and then separated by the same distance, the new force between them is
6. Identify the wrong statement in the following. Coulomb’s law correctly describes the electric force that
