i began with F = K x Q1 x Q2 / d2
since the force is given but the charges were not, i tried to swap them, resulting in
Q1 x Q2 = K x F / d2
but it was incorrect
Homework Statement
Two identical conducting spheres of charges 3q and -q attract each other with a force of 36 x 10-3N. When they are separated by a distance of 0.2 m. The spheres are brought into contact with each other and then separated by a distance of 0.1 m.
What is the magnitude of the...
Hi, I'm having trouble figuring out one of my homework questions. It says
" The total charge on two charged objects is Q. What must the charges on each of them be, in order that the force between them is (a) maximum and (b) minimum.Thanks guys.
