Answer:
2.30 × 10⁻⁸ N if the two electrons are in a vacuum.
Explanation:
The Coulomb's Law gives the size of the electrostatic force between two charged objects:
,
where
is coulomb's constant.
in vacuum.
and
are the signed charge of the objects.
is the distance between the two objects.
For the two electrons:
.
.
.
The sign of is negative. In other words, the two electrons repel each other since the signs of their charges are the same.
