Compute the electrical force between the following charges and state whether it is attractive or repulsive. Q1 = 3 microcoulombs and Q2 = -2 microcoulombs, separated by 12cm. use the following formula. k = 9x10^9 N*m^2/c^2.

Question

Compute the electrical force between the following charges and state whether it is attractive or repulsive. Q1 = 3 microcoulombs and Q2 = -2 microcoulombs, separated by 12cm. use the following formula. k = 9x10^9 N*m^2/c^2.
The formula is F = k*(Q1*Q2)/R^2
