why coulombs law is only applicable on point charges ?

Coloumb's law expressess the electrical interaction between two charged bodies in terms of the forces they exert on each other. Point charges are charges whose dimensions are negligibly small, compared with the distance to another charged body. One of the limitations of coloumbs law is that it is applicable only to point charges. i.e. the electric charges must be point in size.  Coloumb's law does not apply to two charged bodies of finite sizes like two charged spheres. It is because the distribution of charge does not remain uniform when the two bodies are brought together.

The number of moles in an elemental sample is just the ratio of the mass m to atomic mass 4. n= A The number of protons N, in an elemental sample is Z (atomic number) times the number of moles of Avogadro's number NA N=ZnN P A Copper has an atomic mass of 63.5 g/mole and 29 protons per atom. If such an atom were neutral, then it would have as many protons as electrons. If you remove electrons from a neutral state, then you get a net positive charge. Given a 54 gram ball of copper with a net charge of 2.2 µC, what fraction of the copper's electrons have been removed?
