Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.108 N when their center-to-center separation is 50.0 cm. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.0360 N. Of the initial charges on the spheres, with a positive net charge, what was (a) the negative charge on one of them and (b) the positive care on the other one?

Yoko has two iron balls. They are both positively charged. Both balls are hanging with weight negligible strings from one hook attached to the ceiling. The strings are the same length. The strings make a 10 degree angle with eachother. The charges carried by each ball is 1.00uC and 9.00uC. With both the iron balls having a mass of 400 grams, figure out the length of the strings.

Three identical metallic conducting spheres carry the following charges: q1 = +4.60 μC, q2 = +1.80 μC, and q3 = −1.60 μC. The spheres that carry the charges q1 and q2 are brought into contact. Then they are separated. After that, one of those two spheres is brought into contact with the third sphere that carries the charge q3; those two are then separated as well. How many excess (or deficiency) electrons make up the final charge on the third sphere?
