2 answers:
Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An isothermal process is defined as the process in which temperature of a system remains constant. In an isthermal process, = 0.
When an outside thermal reservoir is in contact with a system then very slow change in the system will occur in order to allow the system to continue adjusting to the reservoir's temperature through exchange of heat.
Hence, we can conclude that the temperature remains constant, best describes the isothermal process.

Answer:
On the magnitude of the charges, on their separation and on the sign of the charges
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1, q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges
r is the separation between the charges
From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force depends on the following factors:
- magnitude of the two charges
- separation between the charges
Moreover, the direction of the force depends on the sign of the two charges. In fact:
- if the two charges have same sign, the force is repulsive
- if the two charges have opposite signs, the force is attractive
