Trying to re-learn some physics. In this case, electricity theory.
I just plugged in to the following problem some random numbers -- stationary charges
q1 = .004
q2 = .000056
distance = 12
I got F = 5.5016^ minus 23
Did I even come close, or is the answer unbelievably wrong?

when solving this kind of problems, you realy need to learn using scientific notation
F = G ∙ Q₁ ∙ Q₂ / r²
G = 6.67 ∙ 10^-11
Q1 = 0.004 = 4 ∙ 10^-3
Q2 = 5.6 ∙ 10^-5
r = 12
F = 6.67 ∙ 4 ∙ 5.6 ∙ 10^-11 ∙ 10^-3 ∙ 10^-5 / 12² = 1.0375 ∙ 10^-19
or
F = 6.67E-11 ∙ 4E-3 ∙ 5.6E-5 / 12² = 1.0375E-19
F = G ∙ Q₁ ∙ Q₂ / r²
G = 6.67 ∙ 10^-11
Q1 = 0.004 = 4 ∙ 10^-3
Q2 = 5.6 ∙ 10^-5
r = 12
F = 6.67 ∙ 4 ∙ 5.6 ∙ 10^-11 ∙ 10^-3 ∙ 10^-5 / 12² = 1.0375 ∙ 10^-19
or
F = 6.67E-11 ∙ 4E-3 ∙ 5.6E-5 / 12² = 1.0375E-19

I don't have a calculator, but if you used the equation:
E = kQ1*Q2/d...then YES!!!!
E = kQ1*Q2/d...then YES!!!!

What are the units?
