  1. Question 1

    Q1. A point charge of 2 μC is placed 0.5 m away from another point charge of -3 μC. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them?

    • A) 0.216 N
    • B) 0.108 N
    • C) 0.054 N
    • D) 0.027 N

    Answer: 0.216 N

    Explanation: Coulomb's Law gives F = k * q1 * q2 / r^2 = 0.216 N. Wrong options are due to incorrect unit conversions.
