DPP (Coulombs Law and Superposition Principle)

The document consists of various problems related to electrostatics, including charge equilibrium, forces between charged particles, and the effects of distance and medium on electric forces. It poses questions about the placement and charge types needed for equilibrium, calculations of forces between specific charges, and the conditions for stability in electrostatic interactions. Additionally, it explores the effects of connecting charged particles and the resulting forces, as well as the determination of missing electrons in ions.
