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:
