Two charges $7 \ \mu C$ and $-2 \ \mu C$ are placed at $(-9, 0, 0) \ cm$ and $(9, 0, 0) \ cm$ respectively in an external field $E = \frac{A}{r^2} \hat{r}$,where $A = 9 \times 10^5 \ N/C \cdot m^2$. Considering the potential at infinity is $0$,the electrostatic energy of the configuration is . . . . . . $J$.
