Coulombs law-forces between two point charges, forces between multiple charges. define = -DPOSRES position restrain the solute Title = Solute in Water NPT Equilibration Perhaps there is some simple explanation for this? I cannot see how the real space Ewald sum or the direct Coulomb formula can give a negative energy for particles of like charge. I tried PME, Ewald sum, and a simple cut-off and got qualitatively similar results, although a cut-off gives larger values (less negative) for the like ion interactions. My system is simply an OPLS_aa alkane with water and NaCl and when I used energy groups I got this result for the crossed ion interactions: Energy Average Err.Est. Where $F$ is the force, $k$ is Coulomb's constant ($8.Does anyone know why short-range Coulomb energies for cation-cation and anion-anion interactions in an aqueous solution are negative? Coulomb's Law states that the force between two charged particles is given by:
