Question

can we use Coulomb's law to find the force between two charged conducting spheres for any distance between them??​

Answer 1

Answer:

If spheres are placed at large distance only then we can use Coulomb's law to find the force.But if Sphears are near to each other, due to induction process, the distribution of charge on Sphears will change and it will affect the force between charges

Answer 2

Explanation:

Charles-Augustin de Coulomb: around 1784. Through his observations he was able to show that the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point-like charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges. He also discovered that the magnitude of the force is proportional to the product of the charges. That is: \[F \propto \frac{Q_1 Q_2}{r^2},\] where \(Q_1\) and \(Q_2\) are the magnitudes of the two charges respectively and r is the distance between them. The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two point-like charges is given by Coulomb's .
