Identify the relevant formula: The force between two point charges is given by Coulomb's Law, which is expressed as: , where is the force, is Coulomb's constant ( N m²/C²), and are the charges, and is the distance between the charges.
Convert the given values to standard units: The charges are given as and , which are C and C respectively. The force is given as , which is N.
Rearrange Coulomb's Law to solve for the distance : .
Substitute the known values into the rearranged formula: .
Calculate the expression to find the distance . This will give you the distance between the two charges in meters.
