There are two identical, positively charged conducting spheres fixed in space. The spheres are 43.0 cm apart (center to center) and repel each other with an electrostatic force of F = 0.0720 N. A thin conducting wire connects the spheres, redistributing the charge on each sphere. When the wire is removed, the spheres still repel, but with a force of F = 0.100 N. The Coulomb force constant is k = 1/(4x€o) = 8.99 × 10° N · m²/C² . Using this information, find the initial charge on each sphere, q, and q2, if q, is initially less than q2 . 91 = C 92 = C 10:07 AM 17°C ENC
