What effect will the presence of a conductor between two point charges have on the Coulomb force between them?
Can you tell me about the effect a conductor has on the Coulomb force between two point charges?
Sure! When a conductor is placed between two point charges, the presence of the conductor will cause a redistribution of charges on the surface of the conductor. This redistribution can potentially affect the Coulomb force between the two point charges.
