Yes e is in terms of e. I recall now. Still my answer with the same approach was way off. Shocking.
Here is two more fails. Though I believe my intial answers were close to correct, before trying alternatives values.
Q1001: A certain atom has 88 protons. Assume that the nucleus is a sphere with radius 7.04 fm and with the charge of the protons uniformly spread through the sphere. At the nucleus surface what are (a) the magnitude and (b) direction (radially inward or outward) of the electric field produced by the protons?
For the above equations I worked out Fe / into 7.04 x by (10^-15)^2 all x by 88. This was wrong, so I / by 88 to get initial Fe per partical which was wrong.
Q2014: In the figure particle 1 of charge +4e is above a floor by distance d1 = 3.30 mm and particle 2 of charge +8e is on the floor, at distance d2 = 6.90 mm horizontally from particle 1. What is the x component of the electrostatic force on particle 2 due to particle 1?

Here the solution I found was more complicated perhaps than needed to be. Can you check if it should work? I calulated (tan-1(o/a)) = 27.40 degrees. Next, Fe = 9E-9*4*1.6E-19*8*1.6E-19. The equation Fecos(27.40) was used to solve the x axis component of force. I think I left our r^2 a few times in here which is 7.64852927E-3.
{Please elaorate where solving for one partical acting on another is involved and how that is different to using Fe.}
