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

(a) Two charged particles exert an electric force of 11 N on each other. What will the magnitude of the force be if the distance between the particles is reduced to one-third of the original
