. Two-point charges are brought 0.01 m from each other. One has a charge of 10.0 nC, the other has a charge of -10.0 nC. What is the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them? Will they attract or repel each other? k = 9.0 x 109 N m2/C2

I keep getting a negative answer and it should be positive?
