A proton and an electron are 2.0 x 10-10 m apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them. (Fill in the blanks)

Coulomb's Law (Two charges)
A proton and an electron are 2.0 x 10-10 m apart. Calculate the
magnitude of the electrostatic force between them.
The charge of a proton is q, = 1.6 x 10-19 C.
The charge of an electron is q2 = -1.6 x 10-C.
The Coulomb constant is approximately k =D.0 x 10° N · m²/C².
By Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force is:
19192l
F = k-
Plugging in values, the magnitude of the force is:
F = 5.Ox 10-N
