    Answer:

    The separation distance between the two charges must be 82704.2925 m

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Two negative charges that are both q = -3.8 C

    Force of 19 N

    Question: How far apart are the two charges, s = ?

    First, you need to get the electrostatic force of this two negative charges:

    F=\frac{kq}{s^{2} } \\s=\sqrt{\frac{kq}{F} }

    Here

    k = electric constant of the medium = 9×10⁹N m²/C²

    Substituting values:

    s=\sqrt{\frac{9x10^{9}*(-3.8)^{2}  }{19} } =82704.2925m
