प्रश्न
Does the force on a charge due to another charge depend on the charges present nearby?

उत्तर
Coulomb's Law states that the force between two charged particle is given by `F = (q_1q_2)/(4pi∈_0r^2)`,
where
q1 and q2 are the charges on the charged particles
r = separation between the charged particles
`∈_o`= 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.
