Please show your work.gotpink74 said:i got -59.7333 but it is still wrong i do not know what i am doing wrong
The formula for calculating electric force, also known as Coulomb's Law, is F = k(q1q2) / d2, where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the magnitudes of the two charges, and d is the distance between the two charges.
The direction of the electric force is determined by the nature of the charges. Like charges (both positive or both negative) will repel each other, while opposite charges (one positive and one negative) will attract each other.
The value of the electric force can be calculated using the formula F = k(q1q2) / d2, where k is the Coulomb's constant (9 x 109 Nm2/C2), q1 is +2.8 µC, q2 is -4.8 µC, and d is the distance between the two charges. The distance must be given in meters.
The electric force between +2.8 µC and -4.8 µC is attractive because the two charges have opposite signs.
The magnitude of the electric force decreases as the distance between the two charges increases. This is because the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance (F ∝ 1/d2). As the distance increases, the force decreases exponentially.
