50 Two small spherical conductors are suspended from light- weight vertical insulating threads. The conductors are brought into contact (Fig. P23.50, left) and released. Afterward, the conductors and threads stand apart as shown at right. a. C What can you say about the charge of each sphere? b. N Use the data given in Figure P23.50 to find the tension in each thread. c.
