AThe vector sum of pair forces
BThe scalar sum of pair forces
CReduced by a third charge
DSet by the nearest charge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The vector sum of pair forces
Forces between two charges are unaffected by other charges, so the net force on one charge is the vector sum of the individual Coulomb forces.
