Two identical small spherical conductors (point charges), separated by 0.60 m, carry a total charge of 200C.

Question:

Two identical small spherical conductors (point charges), separated by 0.60 m, carry a total charge of 200μC. They repel one another with a force of 120 N.

(a) Find the charge on each sphere.

(b) The two spheres are placed in electrical contact and then separated so that each carries 100μC. Determine the force exerted by one sphere on the other when they are 0.60 m apart.
