[QUOTE="Delta2, post: 6413426, member: 189563"] Hard to explain where you go wrong in 1-3, in short it is what [USER=365269]@Ibix[/USER] said that you are over-interpreting the field lines tool as a fundamental law. Anyway I 'll try to state my view: Gauss's law give us the number of field lines from a charge distribution, AS IF that charge distribution was the only one in the universe. That's why it will always give us the same number (as long as we don't change the enclosed charge distribution) regardless of what's happening in the rest of the universe. So having in mind that, it doesn't mean that because the flux we get from Gauss's law is constant that the coulomb force between some two opposite charges in the universe is zero, and neither 2. will hold because Gauss's law simply doesn't count the field lines as you think it does. Gauss's law counts the field lines as if the enclosed charge was the only charge in the universe (ok i am repeating myself here, sorry). [/QUOTE]
