COULOMBS LAW
F= K Q1 Q2 / R2

How would I solve for Q1 and Q2?

Hi,

This really quantum physics ?

You have one equation for two unknowns ? Not enough !

I am not asking for a specific equation to be solved. I am asking if asked to solve for q1 and q2 how would I manipulate this equation?

 

[BvU]

You can not solve for two unknowns if you only have one equation.

You can not solve for two unknowns if you only have one equation.

How would I solve for q1 and q2 separately?

 

[BvU]

If you know $F, k, q_1$ and $r$ you solve for $q_2$ with $q_2 = \displaystyle {F r^2 \over k q_1 }$
