Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.
In this problem, we have:
is the distance between the charges
since the charges are identical
is the force between the charges
Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:
