A charge Q is to be divided on two objects. What should be the values of the charges on the objects so that the force between the objects can be maximum?

Explanation

To solve the problem of maximizing the force between two objects with a total charge \( Q \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Define the Charges
Let one object have a charge \( q \) and the other object will then have a charge \( Q - q \). This is because the total charge is \( Q \).

### Step 2: Write the Expression for Force
The electrostatic force \( F \) between the two charges can be expressed using Coulomb's law:
\[
