The electric force between two objects can be understood by looking at Coulomb's Law. The law states that the electric force is directly proportional to the charges of the 2 objects, and inversely proportional as the square of the distance. This is shown below:
F = (k * Q1 * Q2) / d^2
Where: k = proportionality constant; Q1 = charge of object 1; Q2 = charge of object 2; d = distance between objects.
Given:
F = 3.0 × 10^-3 N
Q1 = 3.3 × 10^-8 coulombs
Q2 = ?
d = 6.0 × 10^-2 m
k = 9.0 × 10^9
Substituting:
3 x 10^-3 = (9 x 10^9 * 3.3 x 10^-8 * Q2) / (6 x 10^-2)^2
[(3 x 10^-3) * (6 x 10^-2)^2] / [(9 x 10^9) * (3.3 x 10^-8)] = Q2
Q2 = 3.636 x 10^-8 coulombs
F = (k * Q1 * Q2) / d^2
Where: k = proportionality constant; Q1 = charge of object 1; Q2 = charge of object 2; d = distance between objects.
