Two electrons in a vacuum exert force of F = 4.63E-08 N on each other. They are then moved so that they are separated by x = 6.4 times their original distance. a.  What is the force, in newtons, that the electrons experience at the new separation distance?  b. How far apart, in meters, were the electrons originally?
