Question: Two small, identical conducting spheres repel each other with a force of 0 . 5 N when they are 0 . 2 4 m apart.

Two small, identical conducting spheres repel each other with a force of 0.5N when they are 0.24m apart. After a conducting wire is connected between the spheres and then removed, they repel each other with a force of 0.6N(the spheres are still separated by 0.24m).
What is the original charge on each sphere? Assume that q1 is positive and q1>q2, where q1 represents the initial charge on sphere 1 and q2 is the initial charge on sphere 2.
Part 1
q1=3.11e-5
Part 2
q2=3.69e-5
