Problem 21P
[1 mC = 10–3 C, 1 μC = 10–6 C, 1 nC = 10–9 C.]
Two small nonconducting spheres have a total charge of 90.0 μC. (a) When placed 1.06 m apart, the force each exerts on the other is 12.0 N and is repulsive. What is the charge on each? (b) What if the force were attractive?
ANSWER:
Solution 21P
Step 1 of 3
We need to calculate the force on each charge when the force is repulsive and force is attractive attractive.
