Expert Solution
Step 1

Given: The electrostatic force between the two charge with distance r1 is F1. 

          The electrostatic force between the two charge with distance r2 is βF1. 

          The value of β is 0.037.

To determine: The ratio r2r1

The expression for the force between the two charges is 

F=kqq'r2

where k is the coulomb's constant, q and q' are the two charges and r is the distance between the two charges. 

The electrostatic force between the two charge with distance r1 is F1, 

F1=kqq'r12  ......................................... (1)
