Popis: One of the major efforts involved in studying many particle systems is the discovery of the effective force between the particles. In atomic and condensed matter physics the underlying force is the Coulomb potential. Due to the presence of many particles simultaneously interacting the net potential between any pair of particles is never just the pure 1/r potential discovered by Coulomb, but is strongly modified, usually being reduced. This phenomenon is called screening. Let us begin with a classical example which is easily described. We shall see that even here there are surprises.
