Electric Charges and Fields
One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.
Question

Which of the following statements is true?

   

The magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by one point charge on another point charge directly proportional to the square of the distance between them. 
   

The electric field due to a group of point charges can be obtained by taking the algebraic sum of individual electric fields.
   

The electric field points away from a positive charge and toward a negative charge  

 
   

The magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by one point charge on another point charge is inversely proportional to the magnitude of the charges .
