17. (n-1)d/d+h. (i) For separations h which are much smaller than the particle extension the upper limit of the integration can be extended to infinity, reducing the exponents in the power laws describing the interaction by one. (ii) For large separations, the functional form of the interaction is not affected by the integration which only produces a prefactor of the order of the respective particle diameter.
