    10-2 m (a) What is the electrostatic force between them? Do they repel or attract?

    SOLUTION:

    (a) Basic and Working Equation:


    kq1q2
    Fe 
    r2
    (9  109 Nm 2
    C2
    )(1.0  10 9 C)(3.0  10 9 C)
    Fe 
    5.0x10 m
    -2 2

    Fe  1.1x10 5 N

    (b) The electrostatic force is attractive since unlike charges attract.
