Homework Statement
Two point charges are 3 m apart and their combined charge is 20µC. If they
repel each other with a fore of 0.075 N, what are the two charges? Ans: 15 μC and 5μC
Homework Equations
F=k(q1*q2)/r^2
(could someone mention in their response how we use the math text in our posts, so that I can make it more convenient for the reader)
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm really not so sure where to begin here, but I made a few attempts by manipulating both q2 and q2. I will post one of them below:
9*109 (q1+q2)/32=0.075N
