The direction of the force between two charges, such as 1C and -4C existing in air, can be determined using Coulomb’s law, which states that like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other. Since one charge is positive (1C) and the other is negative (-4C), the force between them would be attractive. Thus, the direction of the force on each charge would be towards the other charge. Specifically, the 1C charge would experience a force in the direction of the -4C charge, and similarly, the -4C charge would experience a force in the direction of the 1C charge.
