The magnitude of the force is F=1.68×10 ^20 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

q1 =1.5 10 ^6 q2=3.2 10^6 r=1.5

We have the formula

By the coulomb's law

F= K. q1 ×q2 / r²

The K value is given by

8.99 10^9 Nm²/ c²

substitute the values we get,

F= ( 8.99× 10^9 Nm²/ c²) ×(1.5 ×10 ^6)×(3.2 ×10 ^6)/ (1.6 m² )

F=1.68×10 ^20 N

The magnitude of the force is F=1.68×10 ^20 N
