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