Of course it's an orbit. It's an unstable orbit.
Besides, making a difference between them does not help finding a stable
orbit.

My physics textbook says yes.

That's correct.

Yes, very. Two charges, one 1C and the other -1C seperated by a metre
will attract with a force of about 9*10^9 N (equivalent to the weight of a
900000000 kg object on earth........)

I've heard of a 1 Farad capacitor, never seen one though.

If you need more help with equations please ask.
