Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.152 N when their center-to-center separation is 60.9 cm. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.0395 N. Of the initial charges on the spheres, with a positive net charge, what was (a) the negative charge on one of them and (b) the positive charge on the other

a) lets take the positive charge to be

q1 = 3.13 * 10^-6 C

b) lets take the negative charge to be

q2 = 3.13 * 10^-6 C

Explanation:

Given data:

electrostatic force between Two identical conducting spheres = 0.152 N

Center-to-center separation = 60.9 cm = 60.9 * 10^-2 m

When wire is removed

electrostatic force between the spheres ( repelling force ) = 0.0395 N

Determine the negative and positive charges on the identical spheres

q1, q2 = 6.26 * 10^-12 C  ( positive net charge )

lets take the positive charge to be

q1 = 3.13 * 10^-6 C

lets take the negative charge to be

q2 = 3.13 * 10^-6 C

since q1,q2 = 6.26 * 10^-12 C

colorectal cancer may also develop from areas of abnormal cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. this area of abnormal cells is called dysplasia and is more commonly seen in people with certain inflammatory diseases of the bowel such as crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.

the earths atmosphere is made up of nitrogen and oxygen. solids can turn into gasses through a process called sublimation. sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase.
