प्रश्न
Two particles A and B, each carrying a charge Q, are held fixed with a separation dbetween them. A particle C of mass m and charge q is kept at the middle point of the line AB. Assuming x<<d, show that this force is proportional to x.
उत्तर
When x < < d:
\[F' = \frac{1}{2 \pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQx}{\left( \frac{d}{2} \right)^3} \left( \because x^2 < < \left( \frac{d}{2} \right)^2 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow F' = \frac{4}{\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQx}{d^3}\]

There is another useful system of units, besides the SI/mks A system, called the cgs (centimeter-gram-second) system. In this system Coloumb’s law is given by
F = `(Qq)/r^2 hatr`
