$A$ paisa coin is made up of $Al-Mg$ alloy and weighs $0.75\,g$. It is electrically neutral and contains equal amounts of positive and negative charge of magnitude $34.8\,kC$. Suppose that these equal charges were concentrated in two point charges separated by:
$(i)$ $1\,cm$ $(\sim \frac{1}{2} \times \text{diagonal of the one paisa coin})$
$(ii)$ $100\,m$ $(\sim \text{length of a long building})$
$(iii)$ $10^6\,m$ $(\text{radius of the earth})$.
Find the force on each such point charge in each of the three cases. What do you conclude from these results?
