Part A A small glass bead charged to 8.0 nC is in the plane that bisects a thin, uniformly charged, 10-cm-long glass rod and is 4.0 cm from the rod's center. The bead is repelled from the rod with a force of 840 µN. What is the total charge on the rod? Express your answer with the appropriate units. HA |Q| = Value Units
