The answer to question 8 is an enormous force – a coulomb is a huge unit for static charge, and we do not normally encounter point charges of anything like that size.

The answer to question 8 is an enormous force – a coulomb is a huge unit for static charge, and we do not normally encounter point charges of anything like that size. Repeat the calculation but this time take the charges as 3.0 pC (p = pico- = × 10−^12) and 2.0 μC.
