Question

Use the following constants if necessary. Coulomb constant, k=8.987×109N⋅m2/C2. Vacuum permittivity, ϵ0=8.854×10−12F/m. Magnetic Permeability of vacuum, μ0=12.566370614356×10−7H/m. The magnitude of the Charge of one electron, e=−1.60217662×10−19C. Mass of one electron, me=9.10938356×10−31kg. Unless specified otherwise, each symbol carries its usual meaning. For example, μC means microcoulomb.
