Imagine you drop two electrons in a long thin vertical test tube. If the electrons were heutral then they would both fall to the bottom of the tube. But, because they have charge, only one will sit at the bottom of the tube. What is the separation of the electrons in meters? Ignore the force between the electrons and the walls of the test tube due to polarization of the tube walls. Imagine you drop two electrons in a long thin vertical test tube.
