Force between two charges = (1/4πε)(q₁q₂/r²)
Since the distance is fixed( given as 1m) minimum force will be the case when the charges are minimum.
minimum charge = charge on an electron or proton = 1.6×10^(-19)
So minimum force = (1/4πε)[1.6×10^(-19) × 1.6×10^(-19) /1²]
= 9×10^9[1.6×10^(-19)]²
= 2.3×10^(-28) N
