These spheres have equal masses of 40 g. and carry charges q] and q2 of equal magnitude 2.0 C but opposite sign. The spheres are brought into the positions shown in the figure, with a vertical separation of 15 cm between them. Note that you cannot neglect gravity. What is the net force on charge q2? A NN aE 150m ny R B There are two forces acting on the charge q2: the attractive force from the positive charge and the force of gravity.
