Two small nonconducting spheres have a total charge of Q=Q1+Q2= 90.0 μC , Q1<Q2. When placed 31.0 cm apart, the force each exerts on the other is 13.0 N and is repulsive.
Part A: What is the charge Q1?
Part B: What is the charge Q2?
Part C: What would Q1 be if the force were attractive?
Part D: What would Q2 be if the force were attractive?
Given and
If the force is repulsive ,the charges should be like charge,either both positive or both negative
Given
-------------------
Use formula
Solve the quadratic equation using a calculator
PART A) ANSWER:
PART B) ANSWER:
==========================
If the force were attractive?
If the force is attractive,the charges should be unlike charge,one negative and other positive
Since ,Q2 should be negative and Q1 positive
