Theoretical assessment of the disparity in the electrostatic forces between two point charges and two conductive spheres of equal radii

The Coulomb’s formula for the force FC of electrostatic interaction between two point charges is well known. In reality, however, interactions occur not between point charges, but between charged bodies of certain geometric form, size and physical structure. This leads to deviation of the estimated...
