To solve the problem of maximizing the force between two charged objects when a total charge \( Q \) is divided between them, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Charges**: Let the charge on the first object be \( q_1 \) and the charge on the second object be \( q_2 \). Since the total charge is \( Q \), we can express this as: \[ q_1 + q_2 = Q ...
