Question

Two point charges totaling 5.5 $\mu C$ exert a repulsive force of 0.095 N on one another when separated by 0.25 m.

Q = 5.5 $\mu C$

F = 0.095 N

r = 0.25 m

A) What is the charge on the larger of the two charges?

B) What is the charge on the smaller of the two charges?

C) What is the charge on the larger charge (in magnitude) if the force is attractive?

D) What is the charge on the smaller charge (in magnitude) if the force is attractive?
