Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The electrostatic force between two charges is calculated using Coulomb's law: F = k * |q1 * q2| / r^2. For two electrons, q1 = q2 = -1.6 x 10^-19 C, r = 1.6 x 10^-9 m, and k = 8.99 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2. Substituting these values gives approximately 9.0 x 10^-11 N.
