Electric current — practice question

For two point charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by a distance $r$, the force $F$ is described by the equation $F = \dfrac{k q_1 q_2}{r^2}$ in which $k$ is a constant. What are the SI base units of $k$?

  • A$\text{kg m}^3\,\text{s}^{-4}\,\text{A}^{-2}$
  • B$\text{kg m}^3\,\text{s}^{-4}\,\text{A}^{-2}$
  • C$\text{kg m}^3\,\text{A}^2$
  • D$\text{kg m}^3\,\text{A}^{-2}$
