Question

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

Step 1

045 N) when they are 0.35 m apart. Given: Force = 0.045 N, distance = 0.35 m Using the formula for electrostatic force: \( F = \frac{{k \cdot Q^2}}{{r^2}} \) Substitute the given values: \( 0.045 = \frac{{k \cdot Q^2}}{{0.35^2}} \) Solve for \( Q \): \( Q = Show more…
