Two small aluminum spheres, each having mass 0.0250 kg, are separated by 80.0 cm. (b) How many electrons would have to be removed from one sphere and added to the other to cause an attractive force between the spheres of magnitude 1.00 * 10^4 N (roughly 1 ton)? Assume that the spheres may be treated as point charges.

If the force between two charges is F when the distance is d, what will the force between the two charges be if they were moved to a distance of 2d?
