Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of magnitude f due to the other. with time, charge gradually diminishes on both spheres by leaking off. when each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, what will be the magnitude of the electrostatic force on each one?

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on each one will be ¼ of its initial electrosatic force

Electric charge consists of two types i.e. positively electric charge and negatively electric charge.

There was a famous scientist who investigated about this charges. His name is Coulomb and succeeded in formulating the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges i.e. :

F = electric force (N)

k = electric constant (N m² / C²)

q = electric charge (C)

r = distance between charges (m)

The value of k in a vacuum = 9 x 10⁹ (N m² / C²)

Let's tackle the problem now !
