One electron has a charge of $1.60×10^{-19}\text{ C}$. Similar to gravitation, the forces between charges is proportional to their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. -$$F_E \propto q \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$$ +$$F_E \propto q_1q_2 \propto \frac{1}{r^2}$$ The equation that describes the force between charges is as follows, where $k$ is a constant with the value $8.99×10^9\text{ m}^{-2}\text{C}^{-2}$: $$F_E = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$$
