Problem

A point charge of +2.0 μC+2.0\,\mu\text{C} is placed at a distance of 5.0 cm5.0\,\text{cm} from a point charge of −3.0 μC-3.0\,\mu\text{C} in vacuum. a. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force acting between the two charges. b. (b) State whether this force is attractive or repulsive and give a brief reason. c. (c) Convert the magnitude of the force obtained in part (a) from newtons to dynes.
