Each of two small non-conducting spheres is charged positively, the combined charge being 40 μc. when the two spheres are 50 cm apart, each sphere is repelled from the other by a force of magnitude 2.0 n. determine the magnitude of the smaller of the two charges.

1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

= charge on one sphere

= charge on other sphere

= Total charge on the two spheres = 40 μC

=

= 40 x 10⁻⁶

= (40 x 10⁻⁶) -                                   eq-1

= distance between the two spheres = 50 cm = 0.50 m

= magnitude of force between the two spheres = 2.0 N

Magnitude of force between the two spheres is given as

= 1.44 x 10⁻⁶ C

hello there!

your answer is a “generator”

a generator does not create energy but instead it transforms it.

it’s basically a motor working in reverse.
