Physics

There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheresfixed in space. The spheres are 39.6 cm39.6 cm apart (center tocenter) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of?1=0.0675 NF1=0.0675 N . A thin conducting wire connects thespheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire isremoved, the spheres still repel, but with a force of ?2=0.115NF2=0.115 N . The Coulomb force constant is ?=1/(4??0)=8.99×109N⋅m2/C2k=1/(4πϵ0)=8.99×109 N⋅m2/C2 .

Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere,?1q1 and ?2q2, if ?1q1 is initially less than ?2q2 .

?1=q1= C

?2=q2= C
