Elastic Energy is stored in it.
21. light changes its direction when travelling through a new medium because denser mediums have a higher angle of refraction.
Answer: 539.4 N
Explanation:
Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:
"The electrostatic force 
between two point charges 
and 
is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance 
that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"
What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:
(1)
Where:
is the electrostatic force
is the Coulomb's constant
and are the electric charges
is the separation distance between the charges
Then:
(2)
Isolating and :
(3)
Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to 
, (1) is rewritten as:
(4)
Then, the new electrostatic force will be:
(5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.
