Two like charges of the same magnitude are 5.0 mm apart. If the force of repulsion they exert upon each other is 2.0 N, what is the magnitude of each charge? (The value of k is 9.0 * 10^9 N*m^2/C^2) Based on the constant k given, we use Coulomb's law and solve for q, making sure we convert mm to m is because of the k, I believe. (5 mm * m/1000 mm). Please help me step by step to conceptually this problem?

The figure below shows three small, positively charged beads at three corners of a rectangle. The particle at upper left has a charge q1 = 3.00 nC, the one at the lower left has a charge of q2 = 6.00 nC, and the one at lower right has a charge q3 = 4.00 nC. The rectangle's horizontal side has length x = 7.00 cm and its vertical side has length y = 2.00 cm. Three positive charges lie at three of the corners of a rectangle of horizontal side length x and vertical side length y < x. An charge labeled q1 is at the upper left corner. A charge labeled q2 is at the lower left corner. A charge labeled q3 is at the lower right corner. (a) What is the electric potential (in V) at the upper-right corner of the rectangle?

Two identical, small insulating balls are suspended by separate 0.21-m threads that are attached to a common point on the ceiling. Each ball has a mass of 7.7 × 10-4 kg. Initially the balls are uncharged and hang straight down. They are then given identical positive charges and, as a result, spread apart with an angle of 50° between the threads. Determine (a) the charge on each ball and (b) the tension in the threads. A F₁
