Two 1.4 g spheres are charged equally and placed 1.7 cm apart. when released, they begin to accelerate at 110 m/s2 .

what is the magnitude of thecharge on each sphere?

The magnitude of the charge on each sphere is .                                                                      

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of both spheres,

Separation between spheres, d = 1.7 cm = 0.017 m

When they  released, they begin to accelerate at,

We need to find the magnitude of the charge on each sphere. When they are released, the force due to acceleration is balanced by the electric force between charges as:

So, the magnitude of the charge on each sphere is . Hence, this is the required solution.
