We know that the magnitudes of the negative charge on the electron and the positive charge on the proton are equal. Suppose, however, that these magnitudes differ from each other by 0.00032%. With what force would two copper coins, placed 1.2 m apart, repel each other? Assume that each coin contains 2.5×1022 copper atoms. (Hint: A neutral copper atom contains 29 protons and 29 electrons.)

Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.147 N when their center-to-center separation is 61.1 cm. The spheres are then connected by a thin conducting wire. When the wire is removed, the spheres repel each other with an electrostatic force of 0.0539 N. Of the initial charges on the spheres, with a positive net charge, what was (a) the negative charge on one of them and (b) the positive charge on the other? (Assume the negative charge has smaller magnitude.) (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
