#1: Use the characteristics of the Coulomb force to explain why capacitance should be directly proportional to the plate area of capcitor. Similarly, explain why capacitance should be inversely proportional to the seperation distance between plates.
I am having trouble with the formulas and how to solve questions. We are currently building off of Coulomb's Law and it's not making sense to me. How would I figure out this question:
Two identical charges, each -8.00 x 10^-5C, are separated by a distance 25.0 cm. What is the force repulsion?
I need the answer as soon as possible

Gravity would be a repulsive force instead of an attractive one. Since protons are more massive, the universe would acquire a net negative charge. The value of the Coulomb constant k would change.
