SymbolDescriptionUnits
$E$Electric field strengthV/m (or N/C)
$q$Point chargeC
$\\varepsilon_0$Permittivity of free spaceF/m
$\\varepsilon_r$Relative permittivity of medium betweem the point charge and where the field is being establishednone
$r$Distance from the point charge - it's definitely not a radius!m
$\\hat{r}$This is the unit radial vector.  It is not a displacement (which would have units of m).none
\n

In the calculation of the magnitude of the electric field strength, care has to be taken to correctly account for units.

\n

From the electric field, a force can be obtained using $F=qE$.  For this problem the field has already been obtained, and all that's required is to multiply this by the magnitude of the second point charge.

\n

Since the charges are opposite in sign, they attract.
