Two charges, q1=-4.8mC and q2=--0.55mC are placed 5.23m apart from one another (mC stand for "milli-Coulomb").  What is the the electric force that q2 experiences due to the presence of q1?  Note, if the force direction is "to the left" be sure to include a negative sign.  If the direction of the force is "to the right", the force should be positive in sign.

 

Note:  It is understood that the unit of your answer is in Newtons, however do not explicitly include units in your answer.  Enter only a number.  If you do enter a unit, your answer will be counted wrong.
