The electric charge of an electron is -1.6 X 10 to the -19 power C.
What is the force exerted between two electrons separated by one meter?

I think I have the answer:
2.304 X 10^-28
Does that look right?
The force between two electrons is an attractive force that is caused by the interaction of their electric charges. This force is described by Coulomb's Law, which states that the force is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The force between electrons is calculated using Coulomb's Law, which states that F = (k * q1 * q2) / r^2, where F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two electrons, and r is the distance between them.
The unit of measurement for the force between electrons is Newtons (N), which is the SI unit of force. In some cases, the force may also be expressed in terms of electronvolts (eV), which is a unit of energy.
The force between electrons affects their motion by causing them to either attract or repel each other, depending on the direction of the force. This force is responsible for the movement of electrons in an electric field and is a fundamental concept in understanding electricity and magnetism.
Yes, the force between electrons can be shielded or canceled out by the presence of other charges. For example, if two electrons are placed in close proximity to a positively charged object, the force between them will be reduced due to the attraction between the electrons and the positive charge. This phenomenon is commonly observed in everyday objects such as magnets and electrically charged objects.
