Help on Question: Find Force of 2 Charged Spheres in Electric Field

[KaneOris]

Heres the thing

Say i was to place 2 small charged spheres into and electric field which points downwards with a strength of 5000 N C^-1
Can anyone firgure out the force expirienced if the two charges were
+2*10^-6 and -5*10^-6?

This Latex thing doesn't work to well...

This belongs in the homework section.

And, yes, a lot of people can figure it out! The question is what have you tried so far?

 

[KaneOris]

Um, who said this was homework, practical expiriment perhaps?

Sorry, for sounding like that anyway...

I tried using \frac{F=k q_1 q_2}{r^2}

But without the distance i had no idea
and i also don't know how i should put the downwards force into the equation, should i use a vector?
