One object has a charge of +5.0 · 10-6 c, and a second object has a charge of +2.0 · 10-6 c. the objects are 0.5 meters apart. what is the electrostatic force between them?

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 is the charge of the first object
q2 is the charge of the second object
r is the separation between the two objects

In our problem:



So if we plug these numbers into the equation, we can find the electrostatic force between the two objects:
