Two bodies each carrying a charge of 2.00 x 10-10C are 5cm apart. Calculate the magnitude of the force between the charges.[\(\frac{1}{4\pi \mathit{E}_o} = 9.00 \times 10^9 Nm^2C{-2}\)]

a

1.44 x 10-7N

b

7.20 x 10-9N

c

7.20 x 10-11N

d

the answer is correct but the calculations they gave is wrong, its 1.44 × 10-⁷N

force in an electric field= q1q2/4π£r²
and distance= r=5cm=0.05m
q1=q2=q =2*10e-10
1/4π£ = 9.00*10⁹
F = 9.00*10⁹ * (2*10–¹⁰)² / (0.05)²
F= 1.44*10-⁷N

(9x4)/5 = 7.2........

The answer must start without 7.2 I.e B or C
