Answer: a) 8.2 * 10^-8 N or 82 nN and b) is repulsive
Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force for two point charged, it is given by:

Replacing the dat we obtain F=82 nN.
The force is repulsive because the points charged have the same sign.
Metal
Explanation:
semiconductors are materials which have a conductivity between conductors (generally metals)
