Addendum: Let me add that my understanding of gravitation forces is based on applying Newton's famous square of the distance formula. But does the same square of the distance law govern the measured forces of charged particles as well? I was assuming that was indeed the case. But I could be dead wrong!
I seem to dimly recall reading somewhere (and I don't know where!!!) that the forces of electrically charged particles have been measured to be to the third or fourth power. If that is the case then my prior analysis should be completely discarded. I bet Mr. Heffner or Mr. Lawrence probably know the answer to my query.
