The charges have opposite sign and magnitude
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by Coulomb's law:
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
In this problem, we have:
F = 3.60 N is the force between the two charges
r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is their separation
The two charges have same magnitude, so
So we can rewrite the equation as
And solving for q:
Moreover, the force between the charges is attractive: we know that charges of same sign repel each other while charges of opposite sign attract each other, therefore the charges in this problem have opposite sign, so
