"The full stop (.) is used when we wish to show that the idea concerned is the sentence is complete."

Why is it incorrect that if we write "The full stop is used when we wish to show that related idea in the sentence is complete." , i.e, why can't we use "related idea" instead of "idea concerned" ?

Thank you.

concerned is wrong here.
related is not completely wrong, but I suggest this.

"The full stop (.) is used when we wish to show that the idea expressed
in the sentence is complete."

Would you like to explain why concerned is wrong?

Thank you.

PS - I'd be cautious about relating a sentence to a complete idea, because a complete idea is a hard thing to define..

If you say that a sentence concerns an idea, it can mean that the sentence refers to a idea that has already been stated in some other sentence.

Buy if you say that a sentence expresses an idea, that means the sentence states the idea clearly.

Because I am not good at English so I would like to ask that whether or not we can use "related" as an adjective such as in this sentence: "Related book has strange formulas."

Thank you.

Yes. But you need an article,
eg The related book has strange formulas.

And the reader needs to know what the book is related to.
