Each of two small spheres is charged positively, the combined charge being 1.945 C. If each sphere is repelled from the other by a force of 12,691,890 N when the spheres are 19.143 m apart, what is the smaller charge (in coulombs)?

Two small, identical conducting spheres repel each other with a force of 0.045 N when they are 0.35 m apart. After a conducting wire is connected between the spheres and then removed, they repel each other with a force of 0.090 N. What is the original charge on each sphere? (Enter the magnitudes in C.) smaller value ________ C larger value ________C

Two small, positively charged spheres have a combined charge of 22.0 × 10-5 C. If each sphere is repelled from the other by an electrostatic force of 0.600 N when the spheres are 1.70 m apart, what is the charge on the sphere with the smaller charge? ( in C)

Two small, identical conducting spheres repel each other with a force of $0.050 \mathrm{N}$ when they are $0.25 \mathrm{m}$ apart. After a conducting wire is connected between the spheres and then removed, they repel each other with a force of 0.060 N. What is the original charge on each sphere?
