A small metal bead, labeled A, has a charge of 25 nC. It is touched to metal bead B, initially neutral, so that the two beads share the 25 nC charge, but not necessarily equally. When the two beads are then placed 5.0 cm apart, the force between them is 4.4x10-4 N. Assume that A has a greater charge.

Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.
