Happy 500!

An electron in B orbit around the positive nucleus experiences a repulsive force given by,

qq4πεor2eπqq4πεor2e=qq4εor2e

Two positive charges in parallel B orbit experience an attractive force given by,

Fa=qq4εor2p

Similarly, two negative charges in parallel B orbit experience an attractive force given by,

Fa=qq4εor2e

The charges are in orbit because of the initial speed it acquired due to electrostatic attraction between opposite charge.  They are held in orbit and kept from collapsing by a magnetic repulsive force.

What happen to two like charges then?  Do they coalesce?  When they are stopped in their B orbits, they will immediately repel apart. An instant disintegration!

This might be the rationale behind a particle collider.
