According to Coloumb's Law, force of attraction between two unit charges is given by the formula,
F= k (q1q2) / d2
where q1 and q2 are the unit point charges, d is the distance between them and k = 1/(4π 0) , here 0 is permittivitty of free space.
Here let q1 = +4.06 and q2 = -2.11 and da = 2.16pm
So force of attraction between them F1 would be, k (q1q2) /d2
Given that, the Force of attraction, F2 between two other charges q3 = +2.25 and q4 = -1.86 , separated by a distance db is also equal to F1
ie F1 = F2
k (q1 q2) / da2 = k ( q3 q4 ) / db2
since 'k' is a constant, we can cancel it from both the sides, thus the equation becomes,
(q1 q2) / da2 = (q3 q4) / db2
Substituting the values of q1, q2, da, q3, and q4 from the given data, we have
( ( +4.06) (-2.11) ) / (2.16)2 = ( (+2.25) (-1.86) ) / db2
-8.5666 / 4.6656 = ( ( 2.25) (- 1.86) ) / db2
-1.836119684 = -4.185 / db2
db2 = -4.185 / (- 1.836119684)
db2 = 2.279263
db = 2.279263
db = 1.509722822 pm
Therefore, the required distance between the two charges +2.25 and -1.86, so that the force of attraction between them would be equal to that between the charges +4.06 amd -2.11 separated by a distance of 2.16 pm, is equal to 1.509722822 pm.
