What is the magnitude of the positive and negative charge?
Two conducting spheres have identical radii. Initially they have charges of opposite sign and unequal magnitudes with the magnitude of the positive charge larger than the magnitude of the negative charge. They attract each other with a force of 0.139 N when separated by 0.3 m.
The spheres are suddenly connected by a thin conducting wire, which is then removed.
Now the spheres repel each other with a force of 0.022 N.
1) What is the magnitude of the positive charge in Coulombs?
2) What is the negative charge? Answer in units of C.
