What were the initial charges on the spheres

Reference no: EM13557188

Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place,attract each other with an electrostatic force of -0.7250N when separated by 50 cm, center-to-center. Thespheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wireis removed, the spheres repel each other with an electro staticforce of 0.1740 N. What were the initial charges on the spheres? Since one is negative and you cannot tell which ispositive or negative, there are two solutions. Take the absolutevalue of the charges and enter the smaller value here.
