Electrostatic Force Calculation

Very Easy Physics Electrostatics And Electromagnetism

In a vacuum, two point charges are placed 10 cm apart. Charge A has a charge of +2 µC and Charge B has a charge of -3 µC. According to Coulomb's law, the force between two point charges can be calculated using the formula:

F = k * |q1 * q2| / r2

Where F is the electrostatic force, k is Coulomb's constant (approximately 8.99 x 109 N m2/C2), q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the charges, and r is the distance between the charges. With this information, calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force between the two charges.
