The electrostatic force between the two positive charges is given by the equation:
F = k * |q1 * q2| / r^2
Where:
F = electrostatic force
k = Coulomb's constant (8.99 x 10^9 N m^2/C^2)
q1 = charge one (0.33 x 10^-6 C)
q2 = charge two (2.95 x 10^-6 C)
r = distance between the charges (0.01 m)
Plugging in the values:
F = (8.99 x 10^9) * |0.33 x 10^-6 * 2.95 x 10^-6| / (0.01)^2
F = (8.99 x 10^9) * |0.97 x 10^-12| / 0.0001
F = (8.99 x 10^9) * 9.7 x 10^-14 / 0.0001
F = 8.72 x 10^-5 N
Therefore, the electrostatic force between the two positive charges is 8.72 x 10^-5 Newtons (N).
