Homework Statement



Two charges q1 and q2 are 11cm apart and have an electric force between them of 6e-6N. If the charge on q2 is increased by 12 times and the distance between q1 and q2 changed to .44cm, what is the new electric force between these charges?

q1 ?
q2 ?
distance (1) 11cm
distance (2) .44
electric force (1) 6e-6 N
electric force (2) ?
