Two identical charges experience a repulsive force of magnitude $1.9 \mathrm{~N}$ when their separation is $1.2 \mathrm{~m}$. What is the magnitude of each charge?
Two point charges are seperated by a 6.2 cm. The attractive force between the, is 18 N. Suppose that the charges attracting each other have equal magnitude. Rearrange Coulomb's law and find the magnitude of each charge.

Two small plastic spheres are given positive electrical charges. When they are 15.0 $\mathrm{cm}$ apart, the repulsive force between them has magnitude 0.220 $\mathrm{N} .$ What is the charge on each sphere (a) if the two charges are equal and (b) if one sphere has four times the charge of the other?
