Question

Two small, identical conducting spheres repel each other with a force of 0.030 N when they are 0.65 m apart. After a conducting wire is connected between the spheres and then removed, they repel each other with a force of 0.055 N. What is the original charge on each sphere? (Enter the magnitudes in C.)

Step 1

Given: Force (F) = 0.030 N Distance (R) = 0.65 m Coulomb's constant (K) = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2 Using the formula for electric force: F = K * (Q1 * Q2) / R^2 Substitute the given values: 0.030 = 9 x 10^9 * Q^2 / (0.65)^2 Solve for Q^2: Q^2 = (0.030 * (0.65)^2) / (9 Show more…
