Question2

Two identical conducting spheres with dissimilar charges are separated by a fixed center-to-center distance of 0.2m. Firstly, spheres attract each other with a force of 1.20N. The spheres are brought into contact and then they are returned to their original positions. Now, it is found that spheres repel one another with a force whose magnitude is equal to that of initial attractive force. What are the original charges on each sphere?
