Homework Statement
One electron has a mass of 9.11x10^-31 KG. Find the force 1.0 gram of electrons would exert on another 1.0g of electrons from 1.0 kilometer away
F = ?
Melectron = 9.11x10^-31 kg --> (0.01kg of electron = 9.11x10^-33 kg)
Electron Coloumb = 1.6x10^-19 C (ignoring the negative sign b/c it is a vector)
R = 1000m
Homework Equations
F=(kQ1Q2/R^2)
Since they are the same mass
F = kQ^2/R^2
The Attempt at a Solution
K = 9x10^9
R = 1000^2
What is the value for Q? I am not sure because any value I try to enter is invalid.
Answer is 2.8x10^20N and I am getting a negative power answer when I try. Can someone steer me in the right direction please?
