Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Coulomb's law states that the electrostatic force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. In symbolic form, F ∝ q1q2/r^2.
Since the question asks for the law in which force is directly proportional to the product of the charges, the correct answer is Coulomb's law.
