Located 10 centimeters apart from each other are two charged particles. Both have equal mass. The second object has a charge that is twice as large as the charge on the first object. They experience a repulsive force of 95N due to the electrical interactions. What is the magnitude of the smaller charge?

Damon · Answer

The mass has nothing to do with this problem since acceleration is not asked for F = k (2q)q/.1^2
