Charge q is 1 unit of distance away from the source charge s. charge p is six times further away. the force exerted between s and q is the force exerted between s and p. 1/6 6 times 1/36 36 times

The force exerted between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

In the case of S and q: The distance of separation is 1 unit

F(Sq) α S*q/1²

In the case of S and p: the distance is 6 units

F(Sp) α S*p/6²

therefore:

F(Sq) = 36 * F(Sp)

Ans: D) 36 times

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
