Question
e Coulomb force is proportional to 1/1², but often we have multiple distances involved. Let's s
have distances d and D and we know that d << D. A hypothetical Coulomb force could be wr
kQq
where k = 9.0 x 109 Nm²/C² and Q (and q) has units of charge, C.
(D+d)²¹
|F| =
(b) Show that this hypothetical Coulomb force has the correct units.
(c) Find an algebraic expression for this force using a limiting case where d → 0.
(d) Find a more accurate algebraic approximation for this force by using a Taylor expansion.
Tips: We are looking for a better approximation than part (c).
How can we write the denominator in the form (1 + x)", where x << 1?
You may find it useful to use a negative value of n.
