If the distance between two equal point charge is doubled then what would happen to the force between them ?

In steady state heat conduction, the equations that determine the heat current $j ( r )$ [heat flowing per unit time per unit area] and temperature $T( r )$ in space are exactly the same as those governing the electric field $E ( r )$ and electrostatic potential $V( r )$ with the equivalence given in the table below.

Heat flow Electrostatics
$T( r )$ $V( r )$
$j ( r )$ $E ( r )$

We exploit this equivalence to predict the rate $Q$ of total heat flowing by conduction from the surfaces of spheres of varying radii, all maintained at the same temperature. If $\dot{Q} \propto R^{n}$, where $R$ is the radius, then the value of $n$ is

The electric potential $V$ at any point $(x, y, z)$ (all in $metres$ ) in space is given by $V = 4x^2\, volt$. The electric field at the point $(1\, m, 0, 2\, m)$ in $volt/metre$ is

Two point charges $+q$ and $-q$ are held fixed at $(-d, 0)$ and $(+d, 0)$ respectively of a $(x, y)$ coordinate system. Then

The potential $V$ is varying with $x$ and $y$ as $V = \frac{1}{2}({y^2} - 4x)\,volts$ The field at $(1\,m,\,1\,m)$ is
