Calculate the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by a proton on an electron separated by 5.29×10−11 m5.29\times10^{-11}\,\text{m}. Constants: k=8.99×109 N⋅m2 ⁣/ ⁣C2k = 8.99\times10^{9}\,\text{N}\cdot\text{m}^2\!\big/\!\text{C}^2, elementary charge e=1.60×10−19 Ce = 1.60\times10^{-19}\,\text{C}.
