Homework Statement
The potential energy of a system of two charges (q1 = 5.0 µC and q2 = 3.3 µC) is 0.37 J. What is the distance between the charges?
Homework Equations
U=(kq_0q)/r --> r=U/(kq_0q)
U=V/q_0
V=0.37J
q1 = 5.0 µC
q2 = 3.3 µC
The Attempt at a Solution
So I was going to use equation 2 but I have two charges involved and that one only asks for q_0.
Do I calculate the change of the charge and use that for q_0?
