Explanation:
Coulomb's Law states that the electrostatic force between 2 point charges is directly proportional to the product of the 2 charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
ie.
where
So, in terms of Coulomb's constant, this particular force will be
Note also that this force will be attraction since it is unlike charges.
