Answer:
The magnitude of the electric force between the to protons will be 57.536 N.
Explanation:
We can use Coulomb's law to find out the force, in scalar form, will be:
[tex]F \ = \ \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 } \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}[/tex].
Now, making the substitutions
[tex]d \ = \ 2.00 * 10 ^{-15} \ m[/tex],
[tex]q_1 = q_2 = 1.60 * 10 ^ {-19} \ C[/tex],
[tex]\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99 * 10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2}[/tex],
we can find:
[tex]F \ = \ 8.99 * 10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{(1.60 * 10 ^ {-19} \ C)^2}{(2.00 * 10 ^{-15} \ m)^2}[/tex].
[tex]F \ = 57.536 N[/tex].
Not so big for everyday life, but enormous for subatomic particles.
The magnitude of the electric force between two protons separated by 2.00 × 10⁻¹⁵ m is about 57.6 Newton

Further explanation
Electric charge consists of two types i.e. positively electric charge and negatively electric charge.
[tex]\texttt{ }[/tex]
There was a famous scientist who investigated about this charges. His name is Coulomb and succeeded in formulating the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges i.e. :
[tex]\large {\boxed {F = k \frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2} } }[/tex]
F = electric force (N)
k = electric constant (N m² / C²)
q = electric charge (C)
r = distance between charges (m)
The value of k in a vacuum = 9 x 10⁹ (N m² / C²)
Let's tackle the problem now !

Given:
distance between protons = d = 2 × 10⁻¹⁵ m
charge of proton = q = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
Unknown:
electric force = F = ?
Solution:
[tex]F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{(d)^2}[/tex]
[tex]F = k \frac{q^2}{(d)^2}[/tex]
[tex]F = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2}{(2 \times 10^{-15})^2}[/tex]
[tex]F = 57.6 \texttt{ Newton}[/tex]
