Step-by-Step Verified Solution
According to Coulomb�s law, the force of repulsion between the two positive ions each of charge q, separated by a distance d is given by
F = 1 4 � _ 0 ( q ) ( q ) d 2
F = q 2 4 � _ 0 d 2
q 2 = 4 � _ 0 F d 2
q = 4 � _ 0 F d 2 ...(i)
Since, q = ne
where, n = number of electrons missing from each ion
e = magnitude of charge on electron
_ n = q e
n = 4 � _ 0 F d 2 e (Using (i))
= 4 � _ 0 F d 2 e 2
