Answer:
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
