By Coulomb's law, we will see that the force is 898.8 N, and the charges repel each other.

How to get the force between the charges?

Coulomb's law says that the force is:

[tex]F = k*\frac{q_1*q_2}{R^2}[/tex]

Where k is a constant, the q's are the charges of each particle, and R is the distance between the particles.

We have:

  • q₁ = 1 mc = 1*10^{-3} C
  • q₂ = 10 mc = 1*10^{-2} C
  • K = 8.988*10^9 (N*m^2/C^2)
  • R = 10m

Then the force is:

[tex]F = 8.988*10^9*\frac{1*10^{-3}*10^{-2}}{(10)^2} N = 898.8 N[/tex]

And because both particles have positive charge, the charges repel each other.
