Homework Statement
We know that the magnitudes of the negative charge on the electron and the positive charge on the proton are equal. Suppose, however, that these magnitudes differed from each other by as little as 0.0001%. With what force would two copper pennies, placed 1.0 m apart, repel each other? Estimate any quantities you need that you do not know.
