Two positively charged particles are separated on an axis by 0.1 meters; q1 has a 3 microcoulomb charge and q2 has a 2 microcoulomb charge. Recall that k = 8.99 × 10^9 N • meters squared over Coulombs squared.
a) What is the magnitude of the force applied between q1 and q2? b) Is the force on q2 directed toward or away from q1?
