During a lab experiment, two identical conducting spheres were charged using a rubber rod and a piece of fur. They were hung from strings as shown in this diagram. Based on the information in the diagram, how much electrostatic force occurred between the spheres in the experiment? Q1. Two identical spheres. Both charged with identical methods. The spheres repel each other. The charge on sphere A is 4.1 x 10^6 Coulombs. Sphere B's charge isn't provided for you. Given the info about both spheres, which of these would be a safe assumption for the charge of sphere B? A)Both spheres are identical so sphere B should also have a charge of B)4.1 x 10^6 Coulombs. 4.1 x 10^6 C is already the charge of sphere A, so sphere B will have to have a different charge that hasn't been taken already. C)Sphere B must have a charge of zero (neutral).
