Well, Gabriel. Your answer makes sense but I cannot assimilate a 1cmx10cm plates separated by a distance of only 1cm to 2 distant point charges. So, you want to tell me that when 2 plates begin to separate from each others, the force F increases at the beginning when the distance is in the same...

Thank you gneill for your reply, you made me more aware about the extended complexity of this problem. However, I just want to know if there is an answer to this question. Is the force F much less than the results I obtained or close to them. In fact, I was asking myself if this question...

Homework Statement The problem is: If you have 2 rectangular plates 1cmx10cm each, which means that the area is A=10cm2=10-3m2for each plate; every plate holds a Constant positive charge of Q=+2x10-6C each; these plates are separated by a distance d=1cm=10-2m What is the electrostatic...
