    Electric charges and conservation of energy

    Homework Statement Two charged particles connected by a string exert electric forces on one another. One has a mass of 3 grams and the other 6 grams. The string is .04m. The force is calculated to be 50.56N. What is the tension in the string? What is the total energy of the system...

    Find Tension in String Connecting Two Charged Spheres

    Well there's the force of the first particle1 onto the particle2 and then there's the equal and opposite reaction from particle 2's force onto particle 1.

    Find Tension in String Connecting Two Charged Spheres

    Two charged objects of charge q. Coulomb's law states that the force on one sphere by the field of the other is: F = qE But each sphere experiences that, correct? So the tension for the string would be 2F. Is that correct?
