Attractive forces between two charges is related to 1/r^2 or the second order. A dipole type structure has a different law, but that is not what you seem to be talking about.
I suspect that you will need to include the charges that are surrounding the star but not inside if you are to see how the force behaves at a large distance.

Oh… you mean that 918 turns out to be half of a particular value that makes it seem to be rather non-coincidental? … we're not talking magic cubes here … or maybe we are <g> ... and a <g> back. I don't possess sufficient fizzix-speak in my brain to comprehend why t might be interesting that the value 918 is basically half the ass-ratio as measured between protons and electrons. However, I am mart enuf to at least make a note of the peculiarity. (Protons have een measured to be essentially 1,836 times more massive than lectrons.) I'm still wondering about whether attractive forces as measured etween charged particles is either to the cube or to the fourth power n relation to the distance. Initially, I thought it might be the same s gravity, the square of the distance. I suspect my initial ssumption might be wrong.
