012 HINT: For part 2, find the charge on each sphere after the spheres are connected. Then use Coulomb's Law to find the force. When- ever identical conducting spheres are brought together, charge will distribute evenly be- tween them (as in the lecture). Two identical conducting spheres are placed with their centers 0.5 m apart. One is given a charge of +1.4 x 10-8 C and the other a charge of -1 x 10-8 C. Find the magnitude of the electric force exerted by one sphere on the other. The value of the Coulomb constant is 8.98755 x 10° N · m² /C². Answer in units of N.
