Chapter 4, Problem 4.116QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The percent change in attraction forces between two charged ions with given distances data should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Coulombs law: It states that the force of attraction between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the point charges and inversely proportional the square of the distances between the charges.

$\begin{array}{l}F\propto \frac{Q_1\times Q_2}{d^{\text{2}}}\\ Q_1,Q_2\to \text{Given point charges}\\ d\to \text{distance between the charges}\end{array}$

To determine: The percent change in the attraction force between the two given point charges.
