A very small sphere of mass 80 g having a charge q is held at a height of 9 m vertically above the centre of a fixed conducting sphere of radius 1 m, carrying an equal charge q. When released, it falls until it is repelled back just before it comes in contact with the sphere Calculate the charge q. [g = 10 m/s²]
