Two identical point charges repel each other with a force of 4N. When the charges are moved 5mm further apart, the resultant force is reduced to 1N.

How far apart were the charges originally?

1 answer

moving .005m force is 1/4 original. sounds like the distance was doubled, or original distance was .005m Remember force is proportional to 1/d^2
