Question

If the sun and the planets carried huge amounts of opposite charges ______.

1. all three of Kepler’s laws would still be valid.
2. only the third law will be valid.
3. the second law will not change.
4. the first law will still be valid.

Answer 1

a, c and d

Explanation:

Coulomb’s electric force or Electrostatic force of attraction will produce opposite charges.

If the sun and the planets carry a huge amount of opposite charges, then the electrostatic force of attraction will be large. Gravitational force is also attractive in nature have both forces will be added and both are radial in nature.

Both the forces obey inverse square law and are central forces. As both forces are of the same nature, hence all three of Kepler’s laws will be valid.
